"Of course there's a problem!" the Witch Demon Elder retorted, annoyed. "Based on what I know about you, there's no way you'd stay here indefinitely. You might leave at any time, and sometimes for several days. What if, I mean what if, that tree in the room causes trouble while you're gone, what then?"
