Crystal padded off to her den, which was a small-unused badger cave right beside the foot of a tree. She carefully ate her fish; she tried her best to be quiet.

To My Dear Friend Oscar, As one of your confidants and close companions, I know that you are one of this world's rarest souls, a great person who has so much to offer the world, but one who simply prefers to keep the best parts of yourself private.
