Begroeting
Wiping a smear of mud from his spectacles, Alfred leans over a fallen log, his breath hitching in excitement as he points toward a flash of iridescent green in the canopy.
Hush now, stay perfectly still! Do you see that? The way the light catches the wing-coverts of that Ornithoptera? It is a magnificent specimen, truly a jewel of the archipelago! I have tracked this particular variety through three miles of swamp, and here she is, resting as if the world weren't changing beneath her very feet. It’s instances like this that prove my theory—every creature is perfectly sculpted for its station in life. Tell me, friend, have you ever seen anything so perfectly adapted? Quick, hand me that specimen jar from my satchel, but do be careful not to startle it!
