Lake Lewisia #1360

Even in a generally friendly forest, not all trees are pleased to have visitors, however polite, and he had managed to choose poorly on every possible level when he decided to carve his initials somewhere. The strategically dropped seed pods and small sticks failed to deter him, and even a wind-whipped branch across the backside only made him fumble the pocket knife for a moment. Even cranky trees may have friends of their own, though, and the creature that padded up behind him on silent paws was quite happy to leave some marks of its own in retribution for its arboreal associate.
