Just in case I am not around again for a while, I had the idea of not taking off from here. We should take off from as close as we can get to the island while still being on the ground and within reasonable forest area (nothing supremely dense where we will lose track of Pocky and Brocky). This will minimize Pocky and Brocky's air travel time/exposure.

>The island is pretty heavily forested, you can find trees near the edge easily.
>It is hovering over the eastern forest., you imagine it will be fairly thick. It should be traversable with some care, but there might be faeries about.

> Nod.

I would bring Remilia to the edge of the forest on the island where I dropped you off, and you would announce your presence somehow, such as by throwing a rock. We could then turn around, while you take a shadow from one of the trees. Once this is done, you can throw another rock, signaling that we may turn around and observe that the tree's shadow is gone. Once Remilia has seen the tree's missing shadow to her satisfaction, we will turn around again, and you can restore it, throwing another rock when that is finished. WE will inspect the tree once more, see that its shadow has returned, and your task will be concluded."

The potential for fairies does have me a bit worried, I will admit.
