  [There is a sound halfway between the creak of ancient wood and a sigh.]

Hrooom.

The trees are young, here.  They sing to me, but they do not know much of this world.  Hoom, they remind me of groves I knew long ago.  Ah, the willows of Tasarinan in the Spring.  They were lovely when I walked among them.

Hm, but this is no time for an old Ent's memories.  Come.  Tell me what news you have of this world.

[After finishing his post through the strange journal Treebeard makes his way back through forest in long effortless strides. This was not his forest. It was young and half-asleep still. But it was still a forest. And he was a shepherd. There was tending to be done.]

Woah [Batman falls back, catching himself on his hands before his backside rather unceremoniously collides with the ground. His first thought - which is almost always a logical one - is 'earthquake', but when tree trunk he was previously crouching beside literally uproots itself and starts to walk all he can do is say] Oh.

[Well, of course it's a walking tree in the middle of a forest, I mean, where else would you expect to find one? Cruising down the free-way? Rather here than in Poison Ivy's lab at any rate.

Dick picks himself up, watching the tree walk overhead as he shakes forest floor debris from his cowl and cape.] Well folks, it's official. I think I can actually say that I may have seen it all.

I wouldn't say that. [Treebeard had paused to watch the human.] There are a great many things in the world. Even I still find new things, and I have lived a very, very long time,

[Well, naturally the walking tree can also talk. Go figure. Dick realizes that this was the voice he had overheard just moments ago.]

You're a resident of the castle? [Batman's cowl covered eyes search the bark for something that resembles a face, he finds it eventually, the moolight reflecting off of a pair of eyes placed high up the tree trunk.]

Re: [action B)b]

I do not know if I can be said to be a resident anywhere.

I guess those roots are made for walkin', huh?
