No, you may not.

[She would never give the only weapon she is carrying away to a stranger. Especially not for some dubious 'fixing'.]

It works fine as it is and I won't let you ruin it.

[sleeplessteen]

I'm not going to ruin it! [He rolled his eyes.] Look...[And he pointed out several flaws in the design as well as how to fix them all. He even used some very technical language that his mun doesn't know to sound good.]

Just a few suggestions but they'd make your shot much better.

[ Graham has a habit of frequenting the woods himself, since he lives there and all, and is actually aware of the fact that there's been a young woman venturing out into it regularly as of late since Wolf would never let it go unnoticed that someone new is spending time in their 'territory', and what Wolf knows, Graham knows.

He hasn't wanted to disturb her, but at this point he feels like it might be best if they had a little talk since her movements have taken her steadily closer towards where he lives and he doesn't want her and Wolf to end up having a misunderstanding.

So he's come to find her. She's good at hiding her tracks, but he is just the tiniest bit better at finding them again and so manages to catch up to her when she decides to take a bit of a rest.

He makes his approach easy to hear, and comes into view with his hands held out where they are easily visible. Best be careful when dealing with an armed teenager. ]

Hello there.

[She stood up as soon as she could hear that someone was approaching. The steps sounded human, but in these woods, one never quite knew - only because it sounded two-legged does not mean it's human, and so she had her bow ready just in case.

Seeing that he apparently was indeed a normal man (as far as she could tell), she lowered her bow, though she did not put the arrow back into the quiver. Better safe than sorry. He was not carrying any visible weaponry, from what she could tell, and altogether did not give her the impression of someone who was about to randomly go on a killing spree.

Good signs.]

Hey.

[All of this does leave the question what he was doing here. Could he possibly have followed her? No, she had made sure of that.

Unless he could read her tracks - she had been careful, but not nearly as careful as she could have been, but then again, people who could actually work with tracks seemed to be a rarity here.]

Do you want something?

[heartless_huntsman]

[ Seems like he has a charmer on his hands here. Well, he can relate to that, not like he was always a people person, to say the least.

He doesn't let her prickly suspicion bother him, and instead just gives her a friendly smile and opts for being direct. ]

Yes, actually. You've sort of been making your way closer and closer to my back yard so I figured I'd ought to let you know since there's a Wolf hanging around there and I don't want you to shoot him.

[ardesco]

[Short and to the point, she can work with that. Until she realizes that he is more worried about someone shooting a wolf than the wolf attacking a person.]

Is it your wolf?

[adios_comma_asshole]

You got more to say that's worth sayin?

[adios_comma_asshole]

How much of this seems right to you?

[trytryagain]

You haven't done anything.

[So why would you need to be excused? ...You remind her of someone familiar, just a little.]

[justaduck]

[Stupid me! Of course I haven't done anything. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!]

Oh! I'm sorry. [Because the best thing to do in this instance is to apologize!] Um... you don't happen to know anything about this place, do you?

[unvarnished]

[August side-eyes this guy]

Good question. I'm wondering the same thing.

[sleeplessteen]

[Thomas turned and smiled. Best to be polite, at least at first.]

So you don't live here?

[Or not...]

[unvarnished]

Nope. I was in a little town in Maine before showing up here.

[sleeplessteen]

Maine huh. [He knew where that was.] I was in Colorado. Clearing up after my little brother. Again.

I'm Thomas.

[unvarnished]

I've been to Colorado. Took one of those tours of the Grand Canyon...

Name's August W. Booth. [yes it's necessary to introduce himself that way] Nice to meet you.

[sleeplessteen]

It's not a interesting as people make it out to be.

[Strange but considering his family? It's normal!] Nice to meet you too, August W. Booth.

[He smirks a little, it's nice to have a conversation not about his family for once. Or Jack.]

[unvarnished]

I'm okay with just "August".

[sleeplessteen]

Why didn't you just say that? Is everyone from Maine so proper?

[unvarnished]

I thought to try something new. ... And I'm not from Maine. That's just where I was before here.

[sleeplessteen]

My apologies. Where are you from then?

[unvarnished]

It's, ah... pretty far away. You probably never heard of it. [he wants to be truthful but he can't just tell a random stranger he's from the enchanted forest]

[sleeplessteen]

I doubt that. I know every city, town and most villages in the world. Except this place apparently.

[He looked around, confused.] Lay it on me.

[unvarnished]

It's... it's not really... [urghhh how does he do honesty and not tell the secret at the same time]

You mean you heard of Storybrooke? [yeah that's a good diversion]

[sleeplessteen]

Storybrooke? Seriously? That's not a real place as far as any map I've ever seen is concerned. And I've seen a lot.

[Beat.]

It's from a TV show. Gimme the real place, will ya?

[unvarnished]

You've seen Storybrooke on television? Like on the news?
