"It's estimated that this isle has a lesser radius of about a mile, a greater radius of three miles, with an ovoid shape. Taste that air! What is that, Magnesium? Interesting tang. Doubt it's toxic, though, since we're still alive. And bring me any fruit you find before you eat it so I can test it and see if its edible. You don't want to end up eating any mandrake blossoms or the like and then we have to scoop up your insides with a shovel after they've exploded out of your throat and mouth. Look at these leaves! Bivalve and everything, but nothing I recognize! I should preserve some samples before we leave. I think we're where we're supposed to be."
Warren is continuing to chew on his wafer- how long is he going to make that thing last? He has to have been eating it for the past five minutes. He then stoops over and begins examining one of the leaves more closely with an eyeglass that he must have had on him somewhere.
If the forest is indoors, then the structure holding the forest must have some kind of realistic sunlight device and a very high ceiling, since there is no cieling visible from where they are.
A light breeze begins to blow, bringing in more forest smells like damp bark and moss.
In the tree that Molokidan is investigating, he doesn't find any fruit, but he does find some kind of nut that grows profusely on the tree. It's easily picked, with a hard shell that probably can be opened with bare hands, but not without some difficulty.
