How we learned to fight the world

Scene No. 8

——AFTER A FEW HOURS——

Fletcher: "We should camp here for the night. With some luck Golo will have found Faith by now"

Yuko: <Sitting down on the grass> "I'm hungry, you two..."

Topaz: "Well- I can get a bird?"

Yuko: "A... bird? I've never had bird before..."

She clearly isn't very sure about the whole bird idea.

Fletcher: "Nettles are good. But fold them up so you don't get spiked"

Topaz: "Or a fox? If we're lucky, there could be a pheasant- "

There is a sudden Gunshot in the sky. Something falls.

Yuko squeals like a little girl and covers her ears.

Fletcher: "Oh, god"

Topaz: "Oh, lovely. I think miss assassin is back"

Fletcher: "Ignore it. She clearly doesn't want us near her"

Yuko: "What was that that was shot?"

Yuko looks up, still fearful because there can be another gunshot and it can hit her.

There is a snuffling sound in the bushes behind them. The leaves part to reveal- GOLO!

Fletcher: "So, you finally decided to return, huh?"

Golowen: "Hope you didn't miss me. I found this bird back here-" <Pushing a bird carcass towards them> "I'm guessing that's what was shot"

Topaz: "Oh, hello"

Golowen: "Your mask is off"

Topaz: "I know"

Yuko shudders as she looks at the dead bird.

Yuko: "Grim"

Golowen: "Eh, it's food. I'll roast it if we get back- and if your ladyship" <Gesturing to Yuko> "Could assist with this, I'd be grateful"

Fletcher: "Good luck with that"

Yuko puts her hand together with delight.

Yuko: "Oh! Finally, some proper treatment! Of course I can!"

Golowen: "Great to hear!"

Golo looks over at Fletcher with an 'I told you so' expression.

Golowen: "So, all you really need is to get some branches from these trees"

He whacks a nearby sprout with his tail, almost felling it.

Yuko: "Okay"

She starts pulling off some of the branches that she could reach, gathering a pile of them in her arms.

Yuko: <Shouting to Golo> "Hey, how much?"

Golowen: "About fifteen"

Fletcher rolls his eyes.

Fletcher: "Topaz, can you help me find some logs for the tent?"

Topaz: "Sure. I'll try to find a big one. Hold on, bet I'll get a whole tree"

Yuko begins counting the sticks she already has.

Yuko: "Ten, eleven, twelve...okay, three more"

She collects the last three and places them down next to Golo.

Yuko: "Done!"
