Elm's eyes fly open and he jolts upright with a start
Elm: Wait-what!?
He flinched, and slowly turned around and the two eyes on his left cheek widened in awe.
"U-Uh...uhm..."
Elm: HEY! I-I mean...Somebody burned these trees for a reason! You can't just go around healing whatever you want!
One may note that he is COVERED in burn marks...much like the trees...
"B-B-But...the trees...needed help..."
Elm: No...all of the spirits in these trees are LONG dead...it wouldn't make much of a difference.
"...did...you hurt them sir..?"
He stared at Elm, fiddling with his hair.
Elm: I-I...It was...
He hugs himself, shaking a little. It's clear that this brings up BAD memories for him
"It's okay if you did...I wouldn't be mad...or upset..I-I just..wanna know.."
Elm: ...
He nods a little
"Oh...do you need a h-hug..?"
