Lions, and Bonding, and Bears Oh My...

DEVRUM As long as Devrum had known Vervain, Remi was always a part of her life. Devrum's sole interactions with the lad were either in passing or unavoidable since they would be assisting Vervain somehow. There had seldom, if any, time he had spent with the young man strictly on their own for the purpose of just getting to know one another, shoot the shit, or whatever kids called it these days. It wasn't like Devrum to go about being a social butterfly, but whether he accepted it or not Remi was a part of Vervain's life, and she loved him so dearly. After all she had done and accepted on his end, Devrum owed it to her to at least sit with him for a normal period of time and get acquainted with who he was other than a familiar face he just happened to see every now and then. He was sure his invitation would be accepted curiously, but he did his best to make the young man feel comfortable. The best way to get to know someone was to test their work ethic, that's how he viewed it at least. It was just after dawn when the clattering of wood could be heard and hammer smacking echoed the woodlands. Devrum, hard at work in building a home for he and Vervain, was about halfway done with the foundation of the house. Had Remi accepted the invitation for the early meet, it would not take him very long to follow the noise and the muttered curses which cut through the trees like a passing wind of obscenities.
