Survival Skills [Wednesday, Period Four]

[doubleohblonde]

Unlike the previous two weeks, today the Danger Shop was set up to look like the picturesque Welsh mountain ranges Bond was terribly fond of dragging out for classes like this. A small table was set up near where Bond was standing, with maps and compasses lying on it.

"In and of itself, orienteering is a family of sports, rather than a survival skill," he began once the class had finished arriving. "However, it requires a firm grasp of navigation skills, which makes it a perfect practical exercise to learn those skills." Bond continued his explanation of the hows and whys of orienteering for a while before gesturing towards the table.

"This class I would like you all to split up into pairs and complete the courses indicated on the maps," he said. "Every map has a different course indicated so there's no need to treat this like a race."

"Yah," she nodded, patting her bag. "Ready as I'll ever be."

"So if we fail," Hurley asked. "Does that mean we went... Disorienting?"

Amber raised a brow at him. "Uh. Possibly? Or just, you know, we fail."

Hurley frowned. "That was supposed to be a joke."

"Sorry. My humor kind of sucks right now."

It was Hurley's turn to raise an eyebrow. "Somethin' wrong?"

"Um," she murmured, "just... me and my boyfriend broke up Monday night."

"Oh geeze," Hurley said. "I... okay, how about we get through class, and I can go, like... buy you ice cream?"

Amber grinned. "It's okay, Hurley. It was like a mutual break up, you know?"

Hurley shrugged. "I guess? I never really dated anyone."

"Yah, I never did either before coming here. It's nice, dating, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. But whatever, right? Least were still friends. And you like, never asked anyone out before?"

Hurley shook his head. "Nah. Saves me disappointment," he said.

"Wow, that negativity taste good, Hurley?" Amber asked, not unkindly.

Hurley shrugged. "Eh, It's okay," he said. "So... Orienteering?"

Amber shook her head, but didn't push that issue. "Yah, I'm ready."

"Well, might as well go try (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1929715.html?thread=121983731#t121983731)," Hurley said.
