"...your house?" Aaron asked, wondering if he had heard that right. Well, technically, he mentioned he 'lived' there in the forest, they assumed it was among the border villages that were on the border of the safe zones, that they were practically the middle ground.
They naturally didn't assume it was literally smack in the middle of the danger zone!
"Is there a village or a town nearby?" Ren asked. Perhaps… they had ran farther than they thought while they were escaping monsters?
Finn shook his head, looking at them. "No, just my home. No neighbors, just me."
He was purposely being mysterious, of course. Why? Because why not?
"I see…" Aaron and the others nodded, accepting his answers.
At this point, the five were just confused, but they were also extremely tired. They didn't have enough brain cells to keep thinking anymore.
…
It was just that their foggy brains jolted back into action when they saw there really was a house in the middle of the Forest of Beast.
