Jade Fern Grove got that lettuce, that cabbage, that broccoli

There was a good bit of ground just south of Phoenix Maplewood, and even better--it was unoccupied. There were few things finer than a stroll through a nice forest, and Vercingetorix took this opportunity to relish the peace and quiet. Peace and quiet weren't usually his thing, but he'd barely had any time to himself since they'd arrived here, and he found himself craving it, for once.

It might have been nicer if most of the leaves hadn't fallen already. Instead, the bare branches rattled against each other, creating sort of an eerie racket in the absence of birdsong. Verx paid it little mind, continuing on, humming some tune or another to himself. A herd of buffalo couldn't have phased him, at this point.
