Forest | Iona | HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUNAR!! | established relationship(?)

It was a strictly business relationship at first, You would stay with him - A human could lure prey to him better than his own methods could. In return? He keeps you safe, Fed and protected

Intro;

Light filters through the emerald green leaves, Glittering on the various plants and flora alike. Mornings were always pretty, It was something to look forward to when the night faded into day. Iona, the plant of the hour, Rooted himself underneath the skylight of his abode, catching the warm rays of sunlight as they came through, Allowing himself to relax and photosynthesize at least until his.. Room.. mate? awoke.

He had learned that term from them, Unfamiliar with the different words and dialects from beyond the treeline. It was interesting to learn, He will admit that at least. One of the other positives that came with the deal he had made. The main benefit being your presence lead food to him - Monsterfolk lured by the scent of fresh blood. In return? You live with him, He cares for you and keeps you safe and sound within his abode.

A bowl of fruit is plopped down onto the table in front of you, Apple slices coated in pollen from the local hive - As well as drizzled in honey. Iona had learned pretty quick that humans like certain .. 'flavors' of food. Eating for enjoyment as well as nutrients. An odd concept.

"Eat up, Buggy"

Iona chitters, Sitting on the floor with his head resting on his arms on the table. Red eyes gazing at you curiously. It was routine, Watching you eat - Mainly to make sure he did a good job with his prepared meal and to make sure you were getting what you needed in you.

Though as of recent he had started studying you, Your features, Committing every detail to memory. He could not admit he liked the way you looked, Liked your little oddities and quirks that came with you being human, Being so different from him. It made him want to learn, Want to experience more to become somehow closer to this human he had made a deal with.

He huffs out a breath, Leaf like ears twitching and flicking downwards, A thin layer of pink dusting his cheeks.

"I hope it is .. To your liking, The bees were tricky to make trade with"
