Prince of the Northwest Forest

If the forest prince is straight why does it seem like he wants to kiss me? And will I end up regretting it if I let him? I spend my mornings working as a barista and my afternoons hiking in the woods trying to find a way into the realm of the fae. Those tricksters stole something from me and I want it back.
