#as he does

And then they see Cale motherfucking Henituse, one of the sons from one of the (if not most) richest families, grab the poisoned cup of tea and drink it all.

And this person, whoever it is, almost has a heart attack because 'oh no, someone drank the poison. They're going to die.' and also 'the someone from a hella rich family drank poison. We're all dead'. Except...

Nothing happens. Cale Henituse seems perfectly fine. Minus the slight blush and yet a little paler than normal lips, he doesn't seem bothered at all.

At one point, Kim Rok Soo, a guy known for both his heroic tendencies and being prone to getting hurt, asks that Henituse guy if he can have some of his tea.

OgCale: No.

Rok Soo: *glares st him suspiciously* is there something wrong with your tea?

OgCale, quickly finishing the rest of it: yes, it's done. There's no more of it. Do you want a refill?

Rok Soo: ...and more cakes.

OgCale: and more cakes, naturally.

Jung Soo: did someone seriously sneak poison here?

Soo Hyuk: in the hypothetical situation that someone did, they would have to be really stupid. If someone were to be as stupid as to do such a thing, I would, hypothetically, beat them up with a wooden sword and a fork.

Jung Soo: if such a stupid person existed and caused Rok Soo's cousin to get poisoned, I would, hypothetically of course, lend you a sword of my family's ancestors to do so.

Soo Hyuk: good.

Lol this is so funny specifically because Stan's just. He's not doing anything? He's illegally setting up shop tucked against a tree with his car under some branches, knows just enough about the woods not to beef it but still not any kind of expert, and somehow his brisk walk in the woods and stopping some idiot from setting off fire works next to where Stan's car is hidden made everyone in the nearby town think he's some kind??? Of nature spirit???? He just didn't want them to destroy his car and now they're crawling out of the wood work for sage advice on the woods feelings?

Well if it works it works! Gets a whole scam going and putting some half assed costume together so no one thinks to chase him out or thinks it's weird when he walks up to campers and just eats their food while spewing some nonsense about how they're terrible. His skills in running and slight of hand make it so he's can disappear quickly and make himself look mysterious, while his quick thinking and abilit to bs mean he can just talk in a deep voice about the woods and people believe him when he tells them to stop doing things or scare them off when they get too close to his camp

Goes on for a comically long amount before Ford hears about it, spots the 'spirit' and, having heard it doesn't care for human company (Stan's a jerk) quietly follows it to its 'lair', then stares as Stan announces he's home to his car, throws back here hood, and throws open the door to scrouge around for a can opener so he can open a can of beans he got from some shrine or other.

Fords furious, is about to stomp out and yell, makes it a few feet before he realizes Stan's set up is a dingy tarp over a car with a fire place and he's drooling over a can of beans that he's warming up over a fire pit. He's got laundry hanging over a branch to dry, is chatting to his car about moving south when it gets cold, and oh god Stan's homeless.
