His cheeks because rosy with blush as he smiled.
"Y-Yeah.."
Elm: I'm an Elm-that's my tree over there-
He points at a big Elm tree-it's covered in burns and scorch marks but it's still alive
"Wow..b-but....it's all burnt up...why is..it burnt..?"
Elm: I-I...I don't...
He looks at his burns self consiously, fidgeting with his sleeves and trying to hide them
"Did...a human try to burn you down..?"
Elm: ...No...
"Than what..?"
Elm: I-I really don't want to talk about it, ok!?
"...okay..s-sorry.."
Elm: ...I-it's ok...
