fandomhigh | Wilderness Survival - Week 7| Thursday Morning, A Clearing in the Woods

"Just because it's out last lesson doesn't mean I'm going easy on you," Callisto said, pointing to the lockers. "Clothes and shoes."

"Now that we've got that out of the way," Callisto said. "Today's class is going to be something of a test, to see how well you actually listened to me over the pst few weeks."

Callisto picked up a large piece of paper. "Now, somewhere in this preserve is this person." She turned over the paper. "Your mission, should you want your shoes and clothes back, is to use the skills I've taught you to hunt down and capture... this kid with doofy hair. Because unless you've brought him back here by the end of class? I'm keeping your stuff. Have fun."

Callisto made shooing motions with her hands. "Well, what are you waiting for?"

Aeryn tosses the rock into the bush. Lightly. Because concussing him in the wild would be fine, but notsomuch in a classroom setting.

And then a not-so-muffled "Ow!" and some scrabbling.

Then there was a flash of a kid with doofy-looking hair attempting to run away from Aeryn as quickly as he could.

Aeryn takes off after him, following the hair.

Greg threw himself into some bushes and tried to be as quiet as possible.

Aeryn stops in the area, and she's not sure exactly which bushes she's in. She picks up a batch of pebbles from the ground and throws them into the bushes, hoping to set him off again.

Greg managed to be very, very quiet when he said "Ow!" this time.

Which wasn't that big an improvement, really.

Aeryn follows the sound to Greg's bush ~~not dirty~~ and says, "Hi."

Greg poked his head out of the bush. "Hi. Don't kill me."

"I won't," she assures him. "At least not if you come quietly."

Greg obediently stepped out of the bush, watching her. "I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be easy for you."

"Well, we could do things the easy way, or the hard way. I'm fine with either, but thanks to the Isabel factor, I'm giving you a choice."

Greg smiled. "Or...I could run away really fast?

With that, he turned on his heel and sprinted further into the woods.

Aeryn takes off after him again, faster this time. She's fine with this. He'll tire himself out before she will.

And Greg scrabbled up into a tree, trying to be as quiet as possible.

Aeryn's following closely enough to see him disappear by the tree, if not up it. She looks up anyway, because she's not stupid. "Come down from there," she says.

"No," he replied.

"I gave you a chance to take the easy way," she says, looking around for another rock, because she knows climbing up the tree will only mean he drops down then.
