Dakota is awakened when he is gently shaken. "Go away," he groans at first. The shaking, however, continued. He didn't want to see who was shaking him by opening his eyes.

"Wake up kitten," says a voice right next to his ear.

Dakota's eyes widen and he lifts his head, "Huh?" He inquires sluggishly. He takes a look around and notices the forest. 'Oh...' He becomes aware of his current location. He looks down to see Freya's lap, then he looks up to see Freya staring down at him.

"H-how did I get on your lap?" He asks, shifting a little.

"I placed you there." She says.

Dakota yawns. He must've dozed off on the way... he looks around them again, this time around the boat, and notices that they've arrived at another dock.

"Where we are?"

"We have arrived at our destination."

Dakota nods sliding off her lap and out of the boat. She assists him in disembarking from the boat and leads him... somewhere. They were in a clearing in the forest, and the sun was still shining. Dakota wondered if this place had a night and day cycle.

...

He notices a white wooden gazebo after they have been walking for a while. "I-I've never seen one of these before." As they get closer, he marvels at it. A white table in the middle held a variety of snacks. Freya leads him up the stairs to the gazebo and then lets go of his hand.  She walks over to a chair and pulls it out.. Dakota of course flushes, 'shouldn't I be doing that?' He wonders.

He sits down and Freya walks around the table, sitting down as well.

Dakota admired all the food and his stomach growls. He blushes, "s-sorry," he mumbles.

'I already ate breakfast why am I already hungry again?'

"Eat, my love." She says.

Dakota nods and picks up a cupcake... He bites into it and moans at the taste. He chews and swallows, he looks to Freya, "Did you make all of this?"

Freya nods, grabbing a pink mochi and taking a bite.

"You could open a bakery." He smiles.

Freya tilts her head, "What is a.. bakery, I have not read about it."

Dakota taps his chin, thinking. "Uhh, It's kinda like a store where you sell sweets and people buy them to eat them."

Freya nods, "That sounds... troublesome, people could just simply leave without paying."

Dakota chuckles, "That's why there's a law saying you can't do that... if you do you'll be locked up."

"Where?"

"In jail, it's a place designed for bad people who've broken the law.."

Freya frowns, "Why not just simply kill them?"

Dakota winces at her bluntness, "B-because that's against the law too. There are people who are sentenced to d-death.. but only because they've done something beyond horrible."

Freya shakes her head, "Humans are very strange, simply killing them would make everything easier."

Dakota frowns, "Two wrongs don't make a right.."
