Cipher : the Third : written, action

[Filtered to Buffy, 10%:]

Would you be free for a lesson in natural history, my dear Buffy? I thought we might meet at the fountan at ten and make a trek north-west. Two hours should answer. Two or three hours for observation would be adequate, I believe.

Once again, we near the end of autumn and the beginning of winter.

Will anyone be offering firewood? I know Captain Aubrey, no longer with us here in Luceti, did so last year, and it proved a boon. I would like to not be caught unprepared.

[Action:

The hike is simple, Luceti has forgiving terrain.

The spot Stephen chooses to set down his bag is beyond the tree line yet keeping the open land in sight. He smiles at his companion, interested not only in the prospect of birds but in watching her, too.

Will this waiting game bore her? Or will she find it peaceful? Jack has never had patience for it, and he is curious to further compare them.]

Is this to your liking for our destination, my dear?
