fandomhigh | Hunting 101 - Class 13 (Wedensday, period 7)

There were no handouts or items for demonstration visible in the classroom when the students entered today. John was leaning against his desk, hands in his pockets as everybody filed in.

"Good afternoon," he said when people were settled. "We're going to go off the syllabus today and talk about this past weekend. Now that wasn't so much a hunt as an invasion, but the same basic steps apply. And no that the trolls have been beaten off, it's time to look at what we've learned." John smiled slightly. "So consider this a debriefing."

"Most hunters I know keep a journal of some kind, with information on what they've faced and what they've found to be effective. You now have all faced trolls. What would you consider important to know about them?" He paused and let the class discuss this for a while.

"The other thing you need to consider after this kind of situation, is what did you do right, and what would you do differently if you had to do it again? This isn't to beat yourself up about things you did wrong -- but a chance to learn from experience, to do better in the future. So I'd like everyone to give us one thing they did that they're proud of, and one thing that they'd do differently."

"I wouldn't have let myself get kidnapped," Sam said simply.

"You'll be more on your guard next time," John told him with assurance. "What do you think you did well?"

Sam didn't think he'd done much of anything well, but he couldn't say that. "I stayed alive and well until my rescuers arrived. I tried to figure out what the trolls wanted, and gave them just enough of it to keep from getting hurt."

John nodded approvingly. "You kept your head and you kept thinking," he said. "That's not something to underestimate."

Sam gave his dad a surprised, but proud smile. "It helps to know that it's only a matter of time before you're rescued though. I think if I wasn't as sure of that, it would have been harder to keep thinking, and not be worrying."

John smiled back. "It's always good to have backup you can count on," he agreed.

"Definitely," Sam replied. "I guess I just need to learn not to be so trusting of innocent looking women from now on."

John nodded, still smiling. "That would be a good lesson to get out of this."
