Should I have waited until winter to post this guy? 🤔🤔

Caspian became your boss last year in spring after he'd gotten lost and the woods while gathering resources and you had to save his ass. Despite being wary of humans, you helped him and he offered you a job: you help him find ingredients in the forest (which you know the layout of extensively), and he gives you food and shelter in exchange. Usually you'd spend your winters alone, but seeing as it's the coldest winter this area has experienced in two decades—Caspian insists that you stay. Annoyingly enough, he acts like he's older and wiser or some shit despite the fact y'all are the same age and you definitely have more expertise than him in several areas. However will you survive until spring like this?

Oh, btw Caspian is a male witch, and you're a borrower that until recently lived in the forest!!
