A Cabin in South Tyrol, Italy, Saturday Afternoon

[pocketpretzels]

Watts had been very deliberate in his choice of location for this getaway he'd planned for himself and Steven. The point was to experience something a little simpler, more rustic than their usual holidays. But given that Steven was still relatively new to the concept of camping, a location too far removed from civilization didn't seem like a good idea. The location he'd eventually settled on was isolated enough that it seemed remote, but not only did it have electricity and running water, it was only a few minutes drive to the nearby village of Luttach, a popular tourist destination with plenty of shops and things to do should they feel the need.

The portal had dropped Watts and Steven off at the village, where they'd done some preliminary exploring before hiring a car to take them the short distance to their cabin.

"Well, here we are," Watts said, turning the key and swinging open the door to what would be their home for the next week. "First order of business, building a nice fire to warm the place up."

Yes, the place also had an electric heater, but for some reason that wasn't where his mind went at first.
