"Um.. I've lived in this town for a couple of days if that's what you're asking, but I often return to the woods. It's sort of my domain, I guess." I told him. My domain was an understatement. The forest was mine, everything that went on in it I knew about from the trees, except for him being here. I didn't know he was here until I found him. Suddenly, it realized he called me nice. "And let's get something straight," I added, "I'm not that nice."

[Furenzied]

"Well...if not nice then good natured. At least compared to some of my relatives." Ashcroft said with a sigh. "They're such a bore...I don't like them." He briefly thought about where his home was, his private world he controlled, full of almost literally nothing, but for some shiny crystals of miraculous colors.

Okay, yeah this guy was definitely weird. I read his mind, and instantly knew he wasn't human but I didn't know what he was. I felt a little bad about invading people's privacy but I couldn't help it. Anytime I am near someone then their thoughts almost automatically pop into my mind, I can't control it. I completely forgot about the fish and noticed it was burning. "Shoot!" I yelled. I took the fish off the fire and decided to go with my backup plan, vegetables. I almost grew a whole garden of watermelons right in front of the stranger until I remembered that I had some leftover tomatoes from before. "I'm more of a fruit and vegetables person anyways," I said, grabbing the tomato from my backpack and taking a bite of it. "My name's Emily by the way," I said with food still in my mouth and put out my hand that wasn't holding the tomato. I swallowed, "sorry I'm usually not around many people so I don't have the best manners."

"One person is many people to you?" Ashcroft asked. "You really don't hang out with people...Ashcroft is my name. And I don't mind." He said as he held out a fish to her. "I got more than I'm hungry for so...here."

I finally decided to take the fish. "You want any tomatoes," I asked, "I've got plenty and can always grow more."

[Furenzied]

"I'm good, I should finish what I have first." Ashcroft said as he bit into his last fish. "Thanks for the offer though...awful nice of you."

"Ugh, there's that horrid word again, nice," I said. I took another bite of my tomato and swallowed. "So, let's get down to business," I said, "what are you because we both know you aren't human."

[Furenzied]

"I could ask you the same." Ashcroft cooly said. "You aren't quite human yourself...there's something odd about you, something most don't have." He said with a bite of his fish. "I have as much freedom to lie as you do but either way...who would say whatever I say would be the truth either......I'm not typical for my heritage."

"Do you actually listen to how you sound or are you just naturally confusing?" I asked. "But don't worry I'll know if you're lying, I'm like a human lie detector, it's like I have a sixth sense." I told him, technically I wasn't lying.

[Furenzied]

"I'm well aware that you're unusual in such a way...but if you wish me to be direct, I'm Apathy...the living embodiment of nothing." Ashcroft explained.
