"Oh, that sounds neat! I haven't gotten to be outside in too long, we've been cooped up in school for the winter..."

"We can probably stay a while." "I'm not in a hurry."

"I'd like to stay a bit then, yeah."

Onward to the forest, then.

The shelves give way after a bit to an open area, something like fifty stories high, and the ground turns from warm hardwood with a low carpet to a wide stone walkway tracing the border of the open area. There's comfortable, organic-looking benches in a mix of wood and stone around the walkway. Thinner walkways curl from the main one into the park - the bit immediately near them seems more 'botanical garden' than 'forest.' Sight lines aren't very good, since there's a lot of tall screens with climbing vines, but there's definitely at least a bit of a forest past the garden, since there's large trees reaching up through the area's height, including one enormous one with walkways spiraling up it. Several trees have treehouses perched in them.

The garden is in full bloom, a riot of color including many flowers Rescue's never seen before. There's pillars and statues and at least one plaque in the garden, many with images carved into them.  

What a good layout. Rescue finds a comfortable-sounding bench to lie on and checks the tree-walkways to see if there's an obvious way to get up to them.

This bench is so wonderfully comfortable!

All of the walkways can be accessed from the ground eventually, though you might have to navigate through a lot of other walkways and bridges first. All the other floors exposed to this park also have at least one walkway from them into the network around the trees. There's a ramp, a bit narrow around a thinner tree, just inside the boundaries of the forest proper, that rises a bit more than two stories before it has a landing with a bridge to another tree (and the ramp also keeps going up the tree, ending in a ladder to a platform at its top about twenty feet higher).

She keeps an eye on September, too, while she idly maps the network.

September is having a lot of fun looking at plants, and she says at one point, coming over toward Rescue, "If I go explore, will you be able to find me? I'll head back here when I get tired if I haven't seen you."

"Yeah. I might... up... but talk, I come back."

"Okay!"
