[Alcuin had sat down at his console to ask his fellow Foreigners a perfectly innocent question, only to be greeted by Malicant. He's shaken, though it only shows in the way his voice carries a little more asperity than usual.]

Whether it was ignorance or malice that caused someone to summon that here, I hope they have learned better- though indeed, such knowledge would seem to come too late.

[He shakes his head. Never mind. There's little to be done about it now.]

In my experience, those who would make such an error rarely learn their lesson in an orderly fashion. Most inconvenient for the rest of us.

But more to the point, I managed a fair plot of land at one point. [Land that wasn't his, but it was his shoulders and back and work that kept things going.] What sort of sapling have you come across?

... sorry, not much help with the tree, here. Downside to growing up in a city.

[Beat.]

Trees, huh? I'm not one to judge but if you're gonna take one as your husband, I'm thinking it's going to be hard to fill out the marriage license.
