She's been standing and staring at the tree for quite long time now after having asked for permission. And Cassia had come to the conclusion that the tree wasn't really going to respond. Or the silence could be taken as a yes? She was going to say yes. Now, assuming the tree was ok, the snake needed to make an offering. She kinda forgot about this. What would someone give a tree?

The fourth-year peering into her bag and started rummaging. Hmmm..What to give a tree? Surely the parchments and quill won't be useful. It also might be rude since parchments and papers were made of tree pulp? Right? In case the answer was yes she was passing on this offering.

Candy wasn't really an option either. Why waste candy on someone or something that can't eat it. At last, she decided on a hair tie. It might sound a bit weird and kinda silly. But the blond had a theory. She dropped down her bag and started tying the hair tie around one of the tree's thin branches. HERE!

Taking a couple of steps back, the snake stood admiring her purple glittery head bobble on the tree's branch.
