Much of the place is still the wilds with odd things growing, creatures that could hurt them, and as Joshua has found out... Wild animals that just wander their way in. So when he finds a wolf in their house, stretched out on his bed, he decides the better part of valor is to leave it the fuck alone and get out for a while with both doors standing wide open.

Heading to check on the place he's wanting to use for a barn for their house, taking advantage of them being alone and up in the North village alone, and then hit up the Inn for a few supplies. Maybe when they had more up that way he'd worry about returning them, but not until then.

Coming back, he closed the front door, leaving the back door cracked in case he still had to run the wolf off. Creeping into the bedroom with a stick in hand, he finds not a wolf sprawled on the bed but something else entirely.

Vasquez, asleep, sprawled as if he owned the place and nude. No, not nude. This isn't like seeing him change on the trail, stripping down to bathe in a creek. This is downright naked. Comfortable, content, tanned, naked.

Joshua just stands there, stunned, not sure what to think about the things said to him while Vasquez was sick. Stunned, and confused, and his fingers flexing before he can think about it, the stick rattling to the floor.
