Meanwhile in the distance a group is being attacked by bandits, but their POV is in around four chapters so let us return to our patient protagonist.

'The creatures have returned.'
One cautiously approaches my leaves, I could sprout more leaves at it to scare it away but that would not give me their blood, that and I want to see how they react to my defences.
It reaches out and... pushes away my leaf, the others emboldened by this do the same, quickly biting into the corpses thus tearing through my roots.

'This... hurts?' I contemplate this "feeling" and-

'I have decided I do not like being hurt'
