Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20171029012154/@comment-27303410-20171029155819

As I see the child raising the rifle I do the only thing that can. "Watch where you're pointing that thing!" I yell out to them only for another shot to ring out and the bullet to fly past my head impacting into the tree next to me, I look back in shock then turn my attention back to the Whitehorns. "What did I just say?! If that was five inches to my right I would have got hit."

"I am so sorry sir I had no idea anyone else lived out on this tundra, speaking of which why are you out here?" the Older Whitehorn asks me.

"I'm a researcher working on a cold weather survival book, been out here for three years now, I have a cabin by the lake and since I answered your question will you answer mine, why are you using a Hunting rifle loaded with DR silver?"

"Mom and dad wanted me to know how to shoot to defend myself when I have to go hunting for a man of my own?"

I look at them dumbstruck. "Really you're one of the gentlest mamono out there why would you have to hunt for a man and take them against their will?" I ask them.

"They aren't we training her how to hunt men we training her to defend herself." I look up and see a man come from behind a tree his own rifle thrown over his back. "Our little girl is preparing herself for dealing with someone that's not a nice man."

"Ok that's understandable my next question how did you all get out here I was told this area was uninhabited, that's why I came out here to do my research?"

"Two years ago a small village was established by the cove about two miles that way, we live out there with a whole mess of different kinds mamono from Selkie's to Yeti's, we heard that there was man living out here by himself but we didn't believe it until now." the Older Whitehorn tells me.

"That explains a lot, and because of this awkward situation I never introduced myself, I'm Repter, it's nice to see some friendly faces after being out here for so long."

"I'm Hanna, this is our daughter Heather and my husband Frank, it's nice to meet you." With introductions out of the way, we start to just talk I learn more about their village and tell them about my research which from their reaction may come in handy. "We should really start heading back it's was nice talking to you sir."

"I'm not that old to be called sir, go ahead and call me Repter, have a safe journey back home." AS they make their way home I decide to make my way back as well, this will be a fun five-year research project, now that I can head to a village to get supplies that I may need.
