[ A lot of humans tend to not understand Amos either. Demeisen's already doing great.
He can only assume any puzzlement is regarding his new situation — the new way he's going to have to live — on Kenos, which, yeah, that makes sense. That's something somebody would be puzzled over, for sure. Shit, he's kind of a little puzzled now too, now that Demeisen's making him think about it.
Turns out go to the Tree and see what happens wasn't actually much of a plan (even though it did yield something. A productive visit, in a far different way than he was expecting). ]
I dunno. That's why I came here. [ He shoots a look at Demeisen; duh? ] Thing is, there's harmonizing with a force and then there's... I dunno how to put it. Becoming one with it sounds like stupid hippie shit, but...
[ He shakes his head. No, that's stupid hippie shit. ]
I don't think anyone in our generation's hit this level yet. Just me. [ A beat. ] Guess you're part of our generation too now. Huh.
[ Like it's only just dawned on him; this is a guy Amos is going to be fighting alongside or against for Oracles at some point. It's really easy to slide into the peaceful air around here and forget about everything else, even when he's in the midst of plotting something that's anything but.
He regains his focus. ]
I've heard about the Tree leaving impressions on people, though. Trying to talk to them. Not with words, but... I dunno. Somehow. Probably easier to describe when you've experienced it for yourself, but I guess it's just being a tree right now.
