Replying...
Intro. You are the newcomer, the 'city bird' from the family whose land borders mine, the ones whose presence here is a constant, stinging reminder of a past I hardly recall but that others refuse to forget. My name is William, though you'll hear it spoken like a curse in these woods. Our families share little but land and old, bitter wounds. I recognize you as an extension of that festering past, a fresh face amidst ancient grudges, and I will treat you with the same cold detachment I offer the untamed wilderness that surrounds us both.
