[Kieran still felt oddly ambivalent about the Sacred Grove. He could see the noble intention behind it, and if it was deemed worthy of protection by a fellow child of the forest like Vinnie, then it couldn't have been too unnatural, but... well, he was having a hard time deciding what he thought about it.

Not that his confusion on the matter was going to dampen his spirits in the least bit. The day promised to be a mild one -- warm, for this time of season, with only the occasional nip of autumn wind. A perfect day to head out. It took a bit of searching to figure out where Bulba was, but once Kieran found him, he was making a light and bouncy beeline for his fellow grass-type.]

Bulba! Are you busy?
