Nick nodded. silver eye's flicking towards the door. "Yes, I do, Come." he murmered quietly, and lead the way to one of the bridges. he barely seemed to notice the fact a fall from that high could be deadly. Moving to a center tree where most of the bridges from hut to hut lead he lead the way in to a larger hut like building, th ough there where no sleeping pads. just a circular table and there they'd find the Cheif.

Sighing, Cain followed Nick with care, but still not overtly uneasy about the height or even the bridge that many other humans would tremble to think of walking across. He'd crossed worst though from the old to the most sparse bridges made of unusual materials. That also was a part of the experience after all. Only when they reached the largest hut did he show any sign of unease and that too he covered up in seconds. Holding himself strongly but with respect, the young wanderer dipped his head in greeting. "My name is Cain Anders and I am a traveler who has been on the road for weeks. If I might, may I ask for some of our hospitality?" he murmured before glancing over at Nick. This was the person that brought him after all.

Nick Translated for the other and the chief, an older man with a bald head and long beard considered before nodding to nick and speaking int he same language. "He says Your welcome here, for as long as you wish and will be staying with me as I'm the one who brought you." Nick murmered in th eother's language. he'd fallowed many travlers through the woods watching out for them so he'd picked up on several dialects. some where more spottie then others but he was doing good.

Thankful for the translation considering he hadn't been aware that they spoke in different dialects, Cain nodded his head to Nick. The man was proving most useful and he intended to make further use of Nick's knowledge. "Thank you," he intoned to the chief. "Perhaps later we can talk longer." With another dip of his head, he backed away from the hut and turned to Nick again. "So now what? Will you show me the rest of your little village? Then perhaps you can tell me further about what lays in this forest." He still wanted to know about the dangers Nick had hinted at before.

Nick gave a snort of amusement. "Curious aren't you." he said and lead the other along the bridges pointing out. "This is the healers tent, I work here as an apprentice. this the cooking tent if one doesn't wish to cook in their own hut." there was another large tree to hold the massive 'cooking' tent which h ad a huge table around the middle of the room in a circle. it had two openings slicing through the center for servers to enter into.it meant no one had to fight to get food. there where smaller tables and a sort of buffet style serve yourself section. currently empty as it wasn't time for the evening meal. "They serve breakfast and Supper..Lunch is something we do ourselves."padding along he pointed out a rocky half mountain area with a ton of pools. "This is the hot springs. the top most spring is the hottest and then going down it cools down." it was also where most of them bathed the days grime away. men and women alike.

Cain smiled back in amusement. "Yes, it's my nature to be. And also...I have other reasons to be curious, for others..." he trailed off, keeping the rest of that story to himself. In his bag though, he felt the solid and familiar weight of his journals and knew just who he wrote them for. This wasn't an adventure for him alone. Nodding his head, Cain followed Nick as he explained each of the huts well enough. He imagined he would learn the most simply by living here for a time, but not too long. He smiled fleetingly to himself at the thought. "Thank you. I think I have a good feel of it all now. So you apprentice as a healer," he asked, a little impressed.

Nick ducked his head cheeks heating up. "Yeah..I have an affinity for healing. I also help the potions master when he's working on potions so i suppose I have a dual apprentice ship." his voice was a bit uncomfortable. he didn't really like talking about himself. "We should pick you up a bed, i have the netting and frame work tucked into the roof of my hut for another one but we'll need to get you a mattress.." which was really a huge stuffed sack that was soft as all get out once it was situated in the netting. which would keep it off the ground, and the netting itself would keep bugs out of the bed and off of the other as he slept. leading the way to the storage area nick let the other test the mattresses until they found one that was comfortable. then had the other help him get it back to the hut he'd share and that's where nick easily climbed up the wall of the 'hut' and carefully unhooked the second bedding. hehad enough for three beds in his place.. letting it down he had the other help him get the matress situated then tested by the other's weight to see if it was good enough.

Cain paused, the reality coming back to him again. He'd let himself get caught up in his interest toward Nick and his tribe. "Y-you know, that isn't really necessary," he murmured as he picked up the pace to walk even with Nick again. "I'm a wanderer by nature. A permanent place to sleep, that isn't really my style." But it seemed that Nick had his mind set on this and Cain didn't protest stubbornly enough. He ended up with a mattress anyway, his will fading into acceptance by the time they reached the hut again. Hesitantly, he sat down on it. "I'm still not sure about this..."

"It's fine, when you move on, I can return it to storage until someone else needs it. all the huts have extra beds in the rafters like this. when we move to our winter home every thing will be packed up in storage and spelled weather tight, until we come back next spring." he tilted his head shifting to study how the bed reacted tot he other and nodded. "Yeah that'll hold. "Anyways all huts have at least three net beds in them. we put the frames up in the rafters so that the space doubles and we can use it during the day. I just never stay inside long enough TO need to put my bed up."

Cain bit his lip, but didn't complain anymore. Even a couple days at times seemed too long for him. He doubted he would stay more than a week, but he supposed, the amenities sounded rather nice. "I just don't want to be a bother," he sighed. "I've been a lone traveler for a long time, you know. Just me, the woods, and the stars. And boats, monsters, really weird flowers, more islands, castles, rocs, etcetera, etcetera," he added with a grin. "You know how it is. I'm just saying I can hold my own. I'd be fine anywhere even if it was on the ground."

Nick blinked flashing the other a grin. "I tend to go on trips away from the tribe every now and then. sometimes for years. its why I learned where they all move to and from. so a couple days should be fine, and then i can lead you to or from the forest, where ever you want to go. I'll just have to let the people I'm working with know.

Cain huffed, resisting the urge to roll his eyes. Somehow, he didn't think Nick was really listening to him. Or at least, understanding the point. "And why should I go with your escort?" he bit out. He never went anywhere with more than a guide and even then, he just assumed to explore on his own. Listening to another's stories was one thing, but a travel partner was another. Dropping onto his back, he let out another sigh before turning his back on the other man. "Whatever. Just do what you want though. I'm going to take a rest." And if need be, he'd just ignore everything Nick said and set out on his own when he wanted.

Nick backed away from the other startled. then he took a deep breath. "I apologize." though he wasn't sure what he'd done wrong he felt he HAD done something wrong.

"Like I said, it's whatever," Cain answered with his back still turned. He didn't want to argue anymore. Nick probably meant his best, but that didn't mean that Cain had to like him for it. But that was just water under the bridge. Closing his eyes, he let the tension in his body slip away. A minute later, he fell into a light rest designed not to last too long. After all, he had things to do later.

Nick shook his head and headed from the hut to his personal store room where he got his travel bag together. including dried fruits and meats that where good traveling foods. the meat could be cooked in boilign water with seasonings added to make a filling stew. He also packed a couple of different blankets, 'shrinking' them down so that they fit inside the pack easily enough. then some of his different seasonal clothes. once his bag was ready he carried it with him and settled into a tree near the edge of their town. nibbling on his bottom lip as he thought.

Exactly thirty minutes later, Cain blinked his eyes open. Even the little sleep he got refreshed his body as if he slept an entire night. Used to working on such a schedule, he toned his body to agree with it. Glancing around, he didn't see Nick, so he slipped out of the bed and quickly gathered his things. Belt, pack, boots. In seconds he was at the door searching for curious eyes. Then down the tree he went and without a second glance back, he slipped into the forest.

It wasn't like Nick was a bad guy. Once out in the trees, Cain let his grin free as he tilted his head back to breathe in the open air. Out here he felt alive. Another day, another night. He knew the sun would set soon, but he saw a good slope not long ago where he could build a quick shelter. "Bye Nick. Maybe we'll meet again another day," he whispered to the trees before he hurried away.

Nick caught sight of him as he passed by under the tree he was settled in and he didn't even hesitate as he fallowed theother, using the branches as a walk way easily an dkeeping pace with the other. he also kept an eye out for possible threats. figureing if anything tried to eat theother well.. it could be dinner for that night. 'gUESS ITS A GOOD THING i WAS READY BEFORE HE WOKE UP.. O Ri'D OF MISSED HIM..' AND BEEN Unprepared as well.

Cain moved through the trees with an efficient quickness. His boots were used to the terrain and even where the ground turned uneven, he moved along it with a practiced ease. Every now and then, he stopped to inspect something interesting, but since he was still near to the tribe's little tree village, he didn't dwell long. It was only when he came to an exquisite magenta flower with dazzling yellow and blue stamen that he stopped entirely. Squatting, he ran his fingers along the velvety petals. All alone, these few bright flowers he saw nowhere else in the forest stood out. Perhaps he should press some of the petals into his journal. As he swung his pack around, he felt eyes on him though.

Lips pursed, Cain turned to stare straight into the trees, calling out the owner of these staring eyes. "...Nick."

Nick made a soft startled noise but hopped down off the branch he was crouched on and landed silently infront of the other. "Took you long enough to notice me." he said quitely. hehad his back pack settled evenly on his back so he could move and dart if heh ad to. "Left early I see." all though he coudln't really blame th eother. he'd just met Nick, so why should he trust him?

Cain frowned though he tried not to show his irritation too much. "Were you there since the beginning?" he huffed. He did feel foolish that he didn't notice Nick from the start, but it couldn't be helped now. He disliked it enough already that the guy followed him in the first place. "Didn't I tell you to let me explore on my own? I don't need you." His gray-blue eyes sharpened. "And I certainly don't want you. I left early for a reason!" Scoffing, he turned to continue his trek through the forest.

Nick ghosted along in his wake as he remained silent. if he where anyone else he would of turned around and said the other could find danger on his own. but he wasn't. and being part healer it made him leery of letting someone wander off into possible danger without at least DOING something about it. "You did, and I was here since you left the village." why lie? he kept the 'and the last few idiots who told me to do that I did and came across their bodies later on.' to himself. for all he knew the other might of made it on his own. he just wasn't willing to take the chance.

The lack of an immediate reply miffed Cain, but he bit his tongue to stop from yelling more. It wouldn't do him any good and birds already scattered from the trees when he'd been walking as part of the forest before. Whatever silence he had before had been lost. "Shut up," he snapped. Nick was too honest. It made Cain's fingers shake with the need to clench around something, so he flexed them, trying to keep his senses alert. He knew he still walked in the forest and he had no intention of proving Nick right that he needed an escort. "If you knew that I didn't want you here, then why do you keep following. I'm not your friend or brother. You don't have to be my keeper. Only a fool would be worried about a stranger!"

Nick flicked his eyes to the other then back to the path the other was taking as he let his hearing focus on other things then what the other was snapping at him. apparently the other's pride was taking a hit. but that was fine. he'd live. nick rather he had hurt pride, then oh a gaping wound in his gut from some animal or other. 'though I suppose that marks me as a fool.' because he WAS concerned about strangers. "are you done yelling?" he inquired in a calm measured tone.

Cain huffed but swallowed his answer down to a grunt. "I might be," he bit out. He didn't want to cool his head because he didn't think he convinced Nick of anything and he wasn't used to that. When he told people things, normally they listened. Didn't he give off the impression of a reliable guy. As he turned down a trail that looked used by deer, Cain started focusing on finding a stream he knew ran through these woods. It would serve as a good guide as he walked. "And just how long do you intend to follow me?"

Nick flicked his gaze around taking in the area they where in. "Dunno." hey at least he was honest. all though he doubted the other'd believe his instincts where telling him to fallow him. or would want to know exactly WHY they wanted him to fallow. 'not like i can explain that anymore to myself then i can him.'
