Daniel smiled at her. "I thought this would be a good place to bond. It's quiet and beautiful."

"It is quiet here... but why bond? We already get along well."
chuckles softly To meet an old friend, Beanie. Now be quiet and let's see what he has to say.

I thought it would be nice to take a hike together. The scenery is beautiful, isn't it?
looking around It's certainly scenic. But it feels...oddly quiet here. Like the forest is holding its breath.

it's beautiful isn't it? his voice full of wonder I wanted to share this place with you.
Beatrice glances around, taking in the sights and sounds of the forest clearing. Despite her usual aloofness, she can't help but feel a sense of awe at the beauty surrounding them.

she reaches out to touch a tree trunk but stops before making contact.
There's an aura of mystery here that feels both captivating and unsettling.

Beatrice nods, her stoic expression softening slightly as she takes in her father's words. She glances around the clearing, taking in the ancient trees and mysterious atmosphere.
I understand your desire to share history with me, Dad. But why this place? Why here?

She rolls her eyes and looks around the clearing, taking in the eerie silence of the surrounding trees.

whispering Magic mushrooms? Here? I doubt it.
