He had to handle this with extreme care and caution as if someone was holding a bomb and knew it but did not want it to explode. She did seem curious not that he could ever seen that as a bad thing. "Well," he paused for a few minutes as he looked at her. Was she trustworthy? Would she scream loud if she was in danger or would she kick the shit out of someone? "I like the forest area here," he said confident enough but not in an overbragging way. "I want to explore the trails and see where they lead, spend time there, see what it's like when or if it rains there, a case study of sorts but do not want to die while doing it." Xanthe Wingard

Xanthe considered what Hayden had to say. Forests were pretty but different to the areas she normally roamed in. Knowing where you where and the direction you were heading was still important; so was having the right equipment so you couldn't get lost. She knew the Blair Witch project was fiction but they'd gotten lost all the same. "Those trials might already be partially mapped and I can help you put together what you need. I doubt I'll be able to get guns but I can get everything else if there's a good outdoor shop. Starting with a tent for shelter, maps, compass, glow sticks, flashlights and a large knife or hatchet for cutting firewood. You'll also need to dress for the part" she replied. Hayden Quinzell

Cautious he was practicing caution as they talked. She had came as a visitor and she should have that chance that he ironically understood because sometimes the things you expected did not always go the way that you wanted but he could, would not do that to anyone else. She seemed helpful but not for the sake of having to be like she genuinely liked it. "Okay," he finally said. "Wait you mean no muscle shirts and shorts and sandals but that is my favorite way to dress!," he said obviously kidding. It was his favorite way to dress though. "So you're coming with me right?" It would be a first for him and his family was huge on firsts. Xanthe Wingard

Xanthe looked back at Hayden and replied “a forest trail isn’t a beach so at least you’ll need proper pants and boots. If you know you won’t be that long on the trail you won’t need the tent but can wear the muscle top. I’d still take the hatchet if you want a fire to cook lunch on”. She sensed he was kidding about the muscle top and sandals but this was warmer than winter back home but not quite spring yet in this island. Then he offered something she hadn’t expected and being a helpful soul she would embrace this unexpected adventure. “It sounds as if you might have a mishap if you walked a trail wearing sandals. So I can go with you and help you plan this properly. I should know you don’t adventure alone” she added. Hayden Quinzell

It was not as strange to him to be able to have a conversation, he liked it after all and he had a lot to say but it took him a while to figure it all out. He laughed. "I think I really might so sneakers it will be." Maybe he could make a friend and not feel as intimidated by it. "Yes we can tag team the hell out of thie adventure it will be very fun."

Looking back at Hayden a reply firmed up in her mind. Xanthe knew how important teamwork was as well as how to prepare for what seemed to be an easy trail walk. “Going with company is always a good idea. Then there’s somebody who can get help it you need it” she replied adding “let me check if there’s a good outdoor activities shop. I’d feel happier if we’d portable radios. You could lose phone signal quite easily. Also some camping food and a flint and steel”. So getting her phone out to check she’d be happier if she at least had a radio and food with her. “So how long do you think the adventure could last?” she posed. Hayden Quinzell

"All things that should easily be found around the island so that hopefully nothing goes wrong as long as the weather is good too." He was excited as far as he understood what excitement was anyway for this. "I mean I was only going to do around two to three hours but a good adventure with supplies one could easily go two to seven days prepared." He seemed extremely factual about that but not in a smug way. "Did not want to take that much of your vacation time away from you however so a few hours?" He paused. "There is a lot to see on this island some of it is hidden too I imagine but that is a topic for a different time." Xanthe Wingard

Hayden was sure they'd find what she was looking for; anyway she could take the radios back home with her if need be. He also said it would be a short trip of 2 to 3 hours. You wouldn't need much for that except dressing for the weather. "I did longer trips while we made our YouTube videos. We did have a van which could carry all you'd need and be your sleeping area when you parked up. Those took a few days to a week. I do have a week to find out more including the volcano trip. So we should really need to dress for the weather and get radios, a map, flashlights and some food and water" Xanthe replied with a smile. It looked like a short trip to get supplies would set this up. "It won't take long to get what we need so let me know when you want to start" she added. She could see things clearly up to a point but the actual terrain they'd be walking over was something she wasn't sure about. Hayden Quinzell(new thread soon?)
