Glancing around and wondering if he was going to get into trouble or not, Asher quickly turned to the tree and began the chant to thank it.

"Wight if Oakley, accept my thanks.
Henceforth may your might be in this branch!
Magically bound to the bright runes, all runes,
Working my will with speed and wisdom."

He gathered his branch, making sure it was very safe and not going to be damaged in any way, and double checked the offering he left. He knelt down to see that it was completely covered and no other creatures could get to it. After that, he checked the cover he made for the spot the branch was removed. "Ah, yes, looks nice and covered."
