Will cooks a few carrots and seeds over a temporary campfire he and Wendy had made. While he cooks the seeds and carrots he attempts to strike a conversation with Wendy (which shouldn't be a problem, they've been partners for around 2 weeks now, they've survived this long together, so Will was dead set on the vision that they'd make it out of the Constant, together).
"So... you think there'll be anyone else here?" Will asks, slightly turning his head around, but still watching the food so he doesn't burn it.
"Possibly, but another person we need to collect food for would be terrible, we already have enough food problems with just us..." Wendy sighs then walks over to Will, sitting down beside him, "speaking of which, is the food cooked yet?"
"Almost, be patient, Wendy, these things don't come immediately... though it would be nice if they did..." Will says, taking the now cooked food off of the fire and handing a bit of it to Wendy.
"Took the words right out of my mouth" Wendy says before eating her share of the food.
"Heh... well, if someone else was actually here, maybe they would have a base set up... maybe a little tent... a fire pit right in the middle... maybe an area for growing food!" Will says, seeming a bit hopeful as if he actually thinks that someone else besides him and Wendy are there. Wendy kinda just smiles at Will with a kind of look saying 'yeah, right.' After they both finish eating their food, they get up and walk off towards the grass plains.
"Seems like there are a lot of bees here... we should steer clear of the hives" Wendy says, looking around at the literal FOREST of beehives, "or maybe we'll just run straight through it..."
Will doesn't say anything, he instead seems to freeze up in some kind of fear.
"Will? Are you ok?" Wendy asks, turning to Will.
"... not at all" he says, "I... well for starters I am absolutely terrified of bees... but look!" Will points to... another person! The person is seemingly wearing a red vest and white undershirt with black pants, he seems to be attacking some bees with a long and really sharp spear when he eventually sees Will and Wendy, and begins to walk closer to them, eventually breaking into a run.
"Ah! Scram!" Will says loudly as he grabs Wendy's arm and runs off, with Wendy struggling to keep at his pace. They run about 1 and a half miles before stopping and hiding.
"W-wait! Why are we running!? I thought you said it would be nice to have someone else!" Wendy asks as she is being pulled by Will to a safe hiding spot.
"Well, Y'now, a guy with a spear and murderous intent doesn't seem very safe, does it?" Will says as he sits down behind the tree he decided to hide behind. Wendy sighs and sits down beside him.
"He could've been nice, he was probably just getting honey and the bees attacked him" Wendy says, looking at Will, who keeps looking out from the tree to see if the man followed them.
After a bit of reassurance from Wendy, Will finally stops checking from behind the tree to see if they were followed. He then takes a deep breath and turns to Wendy,
"Y'now, even if that guy was nice, it still wouldn't change the fact that I'm absolutely terrified of bees" Will says, slightly smiling.
Wendy chuckles a bit, "heh heh... you're such a wuss Will..."
Will laughs a bit, "I know... but being a wuss is pretty good in survival situations, just means you know when to run away!" Will gets up and does a little triumphant pose, like he won the argument... even though it wasn't an argument. He then let's Wendy get up and they walk off, Will holding an axe he had made quickly.
"You think the man we saw is going to be a problem?" Wendy asks.
"I dunno, but I think we'll be able to handle him if he tries anything" Will says, slightly reassuring Wendy.
