Looking through the belongings you had brought with you in your messenger bag you found your favorite book, it was a large dictionaries worth of herbs, their uses and pictures of them. You remember flpping through it as a kid, you still even knew at least half of this book by heart. As you flipped to a random page you found part of a map inside. Hmm you hadnt remembered that bing there before. But then again it had been a so long ago since you had looked through this book.

"_ hurry up or else I'll eat your pasta!" said Lovino from downstairs.

"Coming!" you yelled back. You stuffed the map into your pocket, put the book back into your bag and ran downstairs.

After finishing your plate of spagetti you put down your fork and said "Hey Lovi?"

"What do you want hobo?"

You bit your tongue, ignoring the insult. "Lovino," you said correcting yourself. Both boys looked up at you, this was the first time you had called Lovino by his real name instead of the mock nickname you had given him the day you two met.

"Lovino, can you come with me around the forest?" you asked in the sweetest voice you could manage.

"Why do I have to be the one to do that? Ludwig ca-,"

"Sorry but unlike the two of you I have a job," he said cutting him off. Now that you thought about it, it was impossible for Lovino to go back to his job as a police officer now that the villagers thought he was helping a monster.

"Fine whatever but whatever you have to do in the forest make it quick," he said. You two grabbed a jacket off the coat rack in the living room. You had already unpacked your stuff and practically moved in. You had learned quickly that Lovino wasn't the type to say what he was thinking outloud. He expected you to pick up on the several hints he dropped, and you could already tell from the fact he didn;t kick you out the second you woke up that he would let yu stay as long as need be.

Seriously, he really needed to be more honest with himself.
