The forests can speak, and have exercised this ability in the past.
There is no assumption about it; they don't exactly favour being drained
of their life and leaf to where outside help is necessary. I suggest you
read Public posts 2752 and 2770, at your leisure. Oakstone serves the
forests, not the other way around.
