hey wake up!

good morning

you've been out for a while...

are you okay? what were you even doing in these parts of the woods anyway?
oh, you're lost. that figures.
while you were asleep on the forest floor we were preparing our afternoon tea.
oh, why?
it's the spring equinox soon, of course.
you should come along – it's not like you've anything else to do.

here you are


[you have been handed an invitation to equinox tea]


come around to 12 balfour house next weekend

hm?
oh, don't worry, you look just fine as you are.
everybody does in the spring sunshine.
i can help you wipe the mud from your face though – did a tree root trip you?

...well, alright, if you want to make an effort.
many folk around here have been in the woods a long while, so you might feel more familiar in their folksy sort of fabrics.

try some tweed or some linen, a handkerchief or a pocket watch, a waistcoat or a jacket, the sort of thing you might see in a story book; you'll feel right at home.
just do whatever you can and everyone will think you a friend.

great!
oh, also, i noticed the teddy bear under your arm – it must be quite special to you.
if you like, you can bring them along, just drop them by the tearoom when you arrive

You’d better get home; take the path out the woods,
and come back for a fine night of laughter and food.
