[Going into the woods alone or after dark isn't one of the BIG rules, but he honestly hadn't thought much on what the punishment would be. Sure, he had been scolded before for little things but-

-what would happen if he DID leave town? Or lived in one of the nice houses or took money instead of his ledger? Or hell, didn't work? THAT sounds nice. But taking in all the details of his 'new' life was overwhelming enough that he just hadn't had time to think about the world outside much.]

I... I dunno. I mean it's not like you could lose privileges or anything- we don't HAVE anything. What are they gonna do, banish you?

But man those woods are creepy! Why would you WANT to go there?!
