"That's true, You're free to come and go from my home to the forest whenever you like though." Sterling said as he did not plan to limit Aven from his freedom aside from being his companion at home and when they went out on camping excursions.

"It's the principle of the thing." Once again, leaves crunch between Aven's feet as the trio make their way back to Sterling's campsite. "I do like people, going out and meeting them... but it's just so troublesome. Gonna have to bundle up even just to go to the bar." He sweeps his arm around. "Hence living here. No poisons for miles." He pauses. "Though, one company did try. That was a long time ago, though."

"Well that does make sense companies are always trying to do something crooked and do such things like dumping waste and poison in the environment where it doesn't belong rather than spend the money to dispose of such things properly." Sterling stated as he looked at Aven calmly and sat back down at camp and relaxed getting the both of them some stew now that it was finished cooking by the time they returned. Sterling enjoyed eating food from the outdoors when it was something hearty and healthy.

"Exactly. Though, ah..." Aven grins mischievously. "They ran into a spot of trouble~ Some of the older locals said fairies messed up their work site... but who's to say~?" He takes the offered bowl, but declines any utensil. There's a hint of iron in there - enough to get him into trouble. Instead, he just sips from the bowl.

"Alright well that makes sense. Fae folk love causing trouble, especially for those who get on their bad side like corrupt businesses." Sterling stated as he looked at Aven and smiled clearing his throat as he started to eat with them at the campsite.

"Oh, I couldn't care less about the corruption. Such are humans." Surprisingly, he eats fairly quietly. "It was the poison that got me. Besides the... allergy, this is my forest. They didn't even bother to ask." He snorts.

"Well it's been taken care of now so there shouldn't be any issue now right?" Sterling asked as he looked at Aven calmly and smiled eating before he finished and sat back to relax and enjoy himself.

"With those guys, at least. And haven't had anyone else try since. Good riddance, really." Using his bowl, he scoops out another portion of stew, this time for Aspen. He sets the bowl on the ground for her to chow down. "Otherwise, this area's pretty quiet. Humans visit enough to keep the town from dying, but other than that? Mostly the same faces round here."

"I see, do a lot of people come here to visit and camp? This may become my new campsite since it's so close to my place." Sterling said as he looked at Aven and relaxed not bothered that Aven was feeding Aspen out of one of his bowls as he didn't see an issue with it since Aspen needed to eat as well. He didn't want to let the dog go hungry as it seemed like a good girl.

She is indeed the Best of Girls. Likely more mature than Aven, honestly. "Oh yeah, it's super popular. Since it's pretty close to the city and all, relatively speaking. It's got it all - fishing, boating, hunting, foraging... you name a forest activity, people come here for it. There's a few seasonal cabins, too - owners come and stay the summer or winter, depending."

"I'm surprised I didn't learn of this until this weekend, then again I don't look around often in places I live for such things. I tend to go further away normally but I wanted to stick close to home this weekend." Sterling said as he looked Aven and sat there relaxing and smiling at them. Sterling knew it may take time getting used to living with someone but it would be worth it since he wouldn't be alone anymore.

"Really? I'm surprised. There's a lot of city folk who come here..." Aven tilts his head. "Actually... what do you do in the city..?"

"Truth be told there are a couple of jobs I have in the city. From home I work as a technician, helping people fix electronic issues with phones and computers and the like as for when I'm not in the house I work at a botanical store arranging flowers and selling them and whatnot." Sterling said as he looked at Aven calmly and smiled at him as they conversed in the campsite after eating a healthy and hearty stew.

"Jeez, that's a mix... Must be a story on how that came about." Aven shakes his head. "Though, I'm one to talk... anyways. So you keep pretty busy, then - I'm surprised you find any time to come out here~!"

"I made sure to have them let me have the weekends off for relaxation and recovery from both jobs." Sterling said as he looked at Aven as he did have a bit of a story behind why he had two unorthodox jobs at a time which one would never pair up and so he relaxed as he stretched and let out a yawn.
