On the border of the forest and the tatters sits a quaint little cottage where Budge and his allies have made their home. As you make your way up the cobblestone path, a blue Ferrec standing at about waist height approaches to greet you. She carries herself with a gentle, yet confident air, bowing slightly once she reaches you.

Aspen: "Good day. My name is Aspen. It's a pleasure to meet you. Are you well? Budge is such a wonderful ally to me: any friend of Budge's is a friend of mine. I was his second ally. He brought me here and taught me how to be gentle. We spent so much time together that we accomplished many things... oh, am I rambling? My apologies. Make yourself at home, I'll go start a kettle of tea."
