The Trip to Kahani

Zooey

"South across two small valleys until you reach a river, then east, upstream," the spruce tells Joe. "Keep walking until the river bends sharply to the north. They say Kahani begins there, on the opposite bank."
The cats have gathered by the creek with Zooey, but it's still Joe who's speaking on their behalf.
"They say?" Joe asks.
"I've never been," the spruce confides, which seems entirely obvious once he says it.
The spruce's voice sounds like sculpted breath, Fup thinks; it sounds like smooth bundles of air in flight.
Joe scratches the dirt with his hoof. "You know about Kahani though?" he asks the tree. "It exists?"
"Oh, it must," the spruce replies. "Or you'd assume so, anyway, from all we hear. Though if anyone could tell stories as elaborate as the ones about Kahani, it'd probably be a tree."
