I am a red-capped woodpecker, hunting the forest for grubs and bugs. The deity provides me with worms. I sing in her honor. I do not like the nobles, because they try to hunt me for fun. I dislike spiders, because they don't taste good.
Seeds are no good for me. Just bugs. Here, I just got a nice juicy grub though. You can take this one there are plenty more. Hey, thank you so very much. That act was so beautiful, this makes me want to stop scaring those whom cross me bridge. Is there anything I can do for you? I'm a simple woodpecker. I am happy to spend my days hunting for grubs in the trees. If you're good at scaring though, sometimes hunters try to attack me, perhaps you could keep them away? Yes. I can surely do that for you. And thank you so very much for your offer to gather grubs for me, I accept your offer. And I would try my best to scare those hunters for you. I've never seen a creature quite like you before. What do you call yourself? Red panda. Some think I'm a raccoon, yes we're relatives, but I'm more panda-e-like, I think. I ... see? You must not be from Greenleaf Forest Yeah, I was brought by an exotic species enthusiast, then I was set free, to my supposed home, which happens to be more than 2,000 miles away from my real home... That sounds like quite the journey...do you miss your home? Yes, it is quite a journey, and sometimes I do miss my home... However, I think its good to see new places and explore. Maybe someday, I would accidentally encounter my former residence. What is it like, the place you are from? Is it a great forest like this one? Yes, it was. Then it became a box once I was captured. Then it became another box, a slightly larger box though, once I was brought by the exotic species enthusiast. And now, my home is here, not only the forest, but the world, I'm a traveler now. Thank you so very much for all your help, time and patience.
