Aolis had fled Sera's shop and home once he had realized he was no good for her, would only cause her pain. Look how much trouble he was already! Getting kidnapped, scaring her, and then getting dumped on her to recover? The shame in it sent him fleeing.
He found himself, again, in the Southern Glen. He belonged here, not with her. Here, far from regular society. He belonged where the banished and forsaken should reside.
Calling upon the trees and the spirits of the small forest he chose, he asked the tree to grow him a home; much the way the elves of his tribe always did. Some with music, some with the laying on of hands, others by linking minds with the trees and the nymphs who lived among them. In the end, it was the same result. A nice, modest home was grown into the tree for Aolis. His neighbors, close enough to have company, but far enough to lend to his sudden need for enforced solitude, lived in castles that grew from the trees. A bridge was built to give access to Aoilis' home from the neighboring trees.
