While Elliot went to eat Callan checked things in the cottage. There was a bit of food in the cabinets and fridge, though not much, but he would simply send for anything they needed. He was thankful that Sarah had packed something for the time being for Elliot as well. He then checked the bedroom which was tidy and the bed was made, and the bathroom held towels and anything else they may use while they were here. While few used it these days, Sol’s family did keep it in proper order.<br/><br/>He returned to the living room and opened up his suitcase, removing a small bag which he then tucked in a couple of towels for them as well as pulling out a pair of sweatpants and a sweater which he tossed on the couch before beginning to undress. While he had to look proper on their way here, he could dress as he pleased during their stay. He was just pulling on the sweatpants when Elliot finished eating, the vampire looking to him without a bit of care before the human went to get his sketch book and then returned.<br/><br/>Cal nodded, slipping his shoes back on and pulling on his sweater before collecting the small bag again. He went to the kitchen and tossed one of the drinks Sarah had packed for Elliot in the bag as well, and then slung it over his shoulder. Cal wondered if he had seen Elliot ever so excited… Then again, it wasn’t as though they had spent much time together before now for him to notice. Only their chats in his study… And those weren’t exactly the most thrilling.<br/><br/>“Alright.” He agreed, though before that he got a piece of paper and a pen. “First, a list of anything you wish to eat or drink while we are here. I don’t like to bring servants along, so keep it to something we can cook ourselves. I’ll have someone bring a delivery.” He instructed. While he didn’t enjoy cooking, and he didn’t have a need to, he could at least handle some basic things if needed. Once Elliot finished that he took the note and headed out with the human, giving a soft whistle as he began leading Elliot down the path to the springs. Levi soon appeared, the thin fog taking shape, and Callan handing the small creature the note. “After that you can enjoy your rest too.” He assured the little creature who chattered before its form blurred and morphed into that of a small raven. It took flight a moment later and was soon gone, and Cal began walking again.<br/><br/>The forest was eerily quiet, only soft sounds of the occasional insect could be heard or a soft rustle of leaves, but little else. It didn’t bother Callan, though it was different from the forest around their home. It wasn’t too long however, as the path opened on one side into a clearing Elliot would be able to see a few creatures milling about in the moonlight. Within the clearing itself was a doe, its form that same odd swirling black, and at its feet was a small fox kit that was rolling about as it played. In the trees sat an owl, and not far from it a smaller bird, and there were probably many more hidden by the shadows that weren’t so easy to see. Cal took note of them, the quiet sounds they made that seemed nearly haunting in the silence of the night, but he always enjoyed seeing them in their varying forms and sizes, and the way they could change before your eyes… If he could he would probably never leave this place, but he’d have a hard time finding a reason that would satisfy his family.
