"Hope the Danger Shop hasn't spoiled you guys too much," Gladio greeted his class as he met them outside the school, where they'd been instructed to gather today, "because we're making a long-awaited return to the preserve for this week's lesson, but, before we do that, I've got some information to share with you all today. Last week, we learned how to forage for plants, to..." He grinned, "mixed results, and today, we're doing the fauna side of things and we'll be tracking some wildlife. Nice thing about this island is that the wildlife seems to be relatively harmless....here's to hoping you guys don't prove me wrong on that today, and I spent last weekend doing my own research on what we might find out there, how to find them, and how to keep a look out for them. Now, the majority of critters you're going to find out there will probably be your squirrels, of course, those little porg guys closer to the shores, but not always, your alots, your gremlins, your teal deer..."

And, oh look, there seemed to be a few of those teal deer edging around where they were standing as Gladio launched into his very handwavily specific findings about them all from his avoid-being-killed-by-his-caffeine-deprived-roommate excursion into the woods last weekend.

"Of course," he finally concluded, when that was all wrapped up, "this isn't exactly an exhaustive study. This is just one man's experience over a small amount of time. But I'd like you call to keep that in mind as we set out today, and I want you to try and track these animals, using the details and methods I ~~definitely~~ mentioned. You can work together, you can work alone, but when you hear my signal, start heading back to the old campgrounds as our base and we'll talk about what you were able to discover and find. And that's where we're going to be starting out as a base, so...let's get heading over there and we can get started, and if you have any questions, you can ask them along the way."

“Wanna see something really weird?” Jules asked, as she made her way into the base camp. Because yes, she’d used her phone to take pictures of that alot.

When the one student in this class who could probably teach even Gladio a thing or two about this particular subject returned with a question like that, there really was only one response.

"Definitely. What you got, Jules?"

He was both intrigued and concerned!

Yeah, that was probably the right reaction.

Jules took out her phone and pulled up the photo of the alot of wildlife-

which looked like it consisted of at least two teal deer, a half-dozen furry fish, several wallabies, a few flamingos, and an aardvark. And that wasn’t all, of course, that was just what was immediately visible.

So yeah, Jules was just going to hand over her phone without comment, because really, what could she say?

There was at least one skeptical, reluctant glance at Juillenne before Gladio took the phone, the exact amount of caution that should naturally just come from anyone, much less a student, handing over their phone without any commentary besides that initial opening, letting it linger just a moment longer once he actually had the phone, and then he looked down at the photo.

And that wordless presentation suddenly made a lot of sense, especially since Gladio wasn't sure there were even words for a response, but the lift of his eyebrows was still doing plenty of talking for him.

"Wow," he said, eventually, taking a moment to pull the phone closer for a better look, "that is...alot..."

He handed the phone back with a faint grin. "Good find," he said. "Mildly terrifying, of course, but a good find."

"It seemed friendly enough," Jules, that was because you could control animals with your brain. "But a picture seemed safer than asking it to follow me here."
