The Road Trip
Part 4
“Why have we stopped? Is everyone admiring that mountain?” asked Arachne, taken in by it herself.
“No… It’s construction. They’re working on the road ahead. Hopefully we don’t see too much of it.” As it was, we were already on a detour route that added a couple hours to the day’s drive. Running into more delays only made it worse.
“What do you think of the trees?” I asked, gesturing out the side. Since we were stopped we might as well take advantage of the situation.
Arachne looked out at the wall of green on the roadside.
“I don’t like them. There’s too many and they’re all pokey. I don’t understand why surface elves would want to live in them. It’s disgusting. And they’re everywhere!”
“I’m sorry to say you’ll have to get used to them. They’re plentiful out here.”
Arachne grumbled.
I grumbled as the traffic continued to be plentiful and slow due to the construction. At least I got to show Arachne some big equipment.
