At least Zelda had the good fortune of getting sprayed near the base of the tree. To passersby it only looks as though she's taking a well-earned nap. She did, after all, manage to estimate the maximum distance at which a brown skunk will spray.
When she awakens she feels uncomfortable and dismayed. She was having the most wonderful dream... The kind of dream that, as a princess, she has taught herself to ignore. At least for now she can sit against the tree, try to stretch out her sore neck and shoulders, and think of what could someday be.
AN ILL-ADVISED STUDY
The survival guide mentions the Clematis vines, and the inherent dangers they pose. But it isn't very thorough, and after learning that there is a nearby population of the plants and no good way to combat them aside from aggressive and careful pruning, the princess takes it upon herself to learn more about the nature of this odd plant.
She observes from a safe distance, taking furious notes on everything she sees. She even finds a leftover cutting of the stuff, and uses a long stick to draw it to a safe distance so that she can make closer observations. But the living plants aren't still, and while she has her attention on something else they creep close enough for its pollen to begin to work.
Her notes come slower, she begins to hum distractedly, and the vines wind around her legs. By the time it has a firm grip on her middle she's stopped taking notes entirely, staring instead into the distance with a pleasant smile on her face.
