[Nutcracker's Campsite]
Having had his fill at the tavern, Nutcracker returned to his campsite that - despite being set up as soon as he had arrived - had not been able to be used because of the immediate job that saw him having alternate lodgings for the day. This place was definitely interesting with lots of individuals he hadn't thought to see after living in the woods amongst the wildlife and fey creatures for years. But this place was his new home, this land his new demesne, and this settlement to be watched. There was more life out there that had to be seen and places to explore to have a better idea if outside intervention was needed.
While it was cooler than the inn that had been provided, the ranger was much more comfortable settling in to his bedroll out here than he was in the padded bed inside the wood and stone structure in town. It felt cut off from the world around him. The tent wouldn't last forever, but something out here on the fringes felt nicer, quieter, allowing him to sleep more comfortably.
While kenku aren't allowed to be creative because of the ancient curse that plagues their everyday lives, it never prevented them from having dreams as they slept. This time, he was back in the woods with the Green Knight, enjoying a revelry to celebrate something. Satyrs always celebrated something to the point of making up things to have a drunken party over. This time was a particularly large batch of honey mead as everyone's horn was constantly overflowing with the stuff.
Even though the Knight never really took their helm off Nutcracker could tell they were smiling by the tone of their voice. "The forest is brimming with life, health, and joy. They are right to celebrate this wonderful drink. Honey is a marvelous substance made by the bees. If it were not for them, the forest would begin to die out from lack of pollination. Bees are a sign of a healthy forest."
With the winter set in on this area, would there be bees? Was this normal? Or a curse? It would be hard to tell without learning about the area. It did seem unnatural, from what he could tell. But for now Nutcracker would help to bring health and joy to the forest.
After a good long rest.
