While he's maintaining a bit of a shy distance, as soon as food's brought up, the boy perks up visibly. He really hasn't gotten enough to eat in a few days, and that combined with running amok in the woods on his own for a few nights has him pretty eager to take Forrest up on that offer.
Which means that when that door's opened, Hugh doesn't need too much coaxing after Cricket gently nudges him. He hesitates only a fraction of a moment or two and then he hops on in — bees in tow.
Hugh's looking around in interest, the shyness seeming to be steadily wearing off in favour of his usual chipper, curious self. It isn't hard to follow the smell of food and he's wandering right on into the kitchen. The two bees are buzzing around more loudly now as they flit around from place to place, exploring this new environment too. So many new places in one day... It's pretty exciting. He reckons the rest'll be waking up soon and want to explore too.
"Do you like bees, Mr. Forrest?" he asks, fueled by the wave of boldness, looking over his shoulder (and way up) at the man, flashing a smile. He's going to let Cricket explain the more complicated parts since he knows the other man, but... there's no harm asking that, right?
