Largo looked back at Ula and replied "a machete is a large knife. Bigger than a normal knife but not as long as a sword. Usually works best as a survival tool as you tend to have to hack your path though undergrowth or even behead a snake with them". He wouldn't go anywhere that would mean fully Indiana Jones mode but enough trails did need you to put in at least some effort to get down them. "If you've ever watched any documentaries about jungles some of it will apply here but I doubt there'll be monkeys or undiscovered tribes around here. I'll bring our own shelter and food too in case we need to stop for a prolonged period of time" he added. You might have to stay overnight if you got lost or lost the light completely. Ula W. Ravenmore

"Okay," she said. She was starting to wonder if perhaps she needed to be scared but she was going to put that thought right out of her head and push herself beyond and attempt to make it a decent time. "Okay I feel a little under prepared but you know what I still want to do it because I feel like it would be a good experience so if you still want to take me and teach me the ropes, I will show up."

Throwing Ula straight into a dangerous jungle wasn't a good idea. Even he could see that but perhaps they could work up to an adventure later on. "As a first step I'd suggest the paleontology paths. There's still rough terrain and undergrowth to cut and there are things to find and learn from. Doing a full jungle trail is something we can work up too" he suggested. At least he could get Ula used to an outdoor experience that had surprises in a softer way. Ula W. Ravenmore

"Is that like a nature date?" she asked him. "I am just trying to figure out if it would be okay if it were a date or if we are just going to call it a friend hang out." She understood either way because some things could be new and scary but she also knew that a lot of things could be new and exciting but she was going to see where he stood. Largo Vasquez

"Do you want it to be Ula?" he posed as he did feel closer to her. By now he was getting used to to the idea he'd have to date again and Ula was great company; at least before Estella started nudging him. "It'll also be a personally guided tour as everyday is a school day". he sipped his drink again finding her was nearing the bottom. So he also asked "do you want a refill?" Ula W. Ravenmore

She had to think about this being older still meant that you had to be careful and plus they both had been married before so she knew that they still had things from their past. "Yes if I am being honest the answer is yes but sometimes what we want something to be is different from what the other person wants so it is better to ask." A refill? "Oh yes that will be fine thank you." Largo Vasquez

As they'd both been married before there was issues to work through but didn't everybody start with lets be friends and see where it leads us? So there should be no pressure at this stage. "I guess I could call it a starting level date and I'll get you a refil" he replied. So going to the bar he got two drinks the same for them. Dating when you were older didn't seem as simple as the young ones made it look. Even his daughter had brought a boy home. Ula W. Ravenmore

"Okay," she said. A starting level date was probably a good idea as she looked at him from afar. She knew that it had to be difficult but still she wanted it to be given a chance if they did hit it off. Largo Vasquez

So they did have a starting date. They also had another round of drinks in the here and now and future tennis lessons. So he had had good feeling that something would work out between them. So returning with new drinks Largo smiled. "Here we go. Even my teenage daughter is dating so how hard could it be?" he said as he passed Ula hers. Ula W. Ravenmore

She was still thinking of how to handle this because the last thing that she wanted to do was to scare anyone. She smiled and then spoke. "I think anything that we do as friends or anything else of the like will be good for us. I mean we both are extra cautious but I also think that as people we also fully understand that life goes on it is just about finding our pacing at the time." She carefully took her drink. "It's still hard," she said as she laughed. "That is cute I do remember dating being a teenager life goes so fast at times." Largo Vasquez

"We'll just let things develop from a first date I suppose. We've all the time we need" Largo replied sipping his own drink. Even if teenagers made things look easy Ula was right. Even she could laugh about it. "You might meet her sometime. Estella starts High School here soon and she's very into fashion; even makes things as well as designing it. Life does go so fast in general. It dosen't seem that long since she was a toddler and now she's nearly an adult. That's scary" he conceded with a smile. Ula W. Ravenmore

She nodded. "I do hope so. I think if you want to be friends with someone then you have to know parts of them that you might not normally and since she is your daughter it would only make sense that eventually we meet." She did not know how that would go but it could be good so she remained positive. Largo Vasquez

Ula was wise about this part of life. He'd have to learn to get used to dating again after so long of not having to do it properly. Even date nights with Louisa had been simpler affairs. The first steps were to get to know each other and what they were doing already would allow that. "That's true Ula. I've a feeling you would get on with her" he replied. "Perhaps we could go on the trail after the next tennis lesson? I'll need to book it once you know what time and date suits you" he added cheerfully. Ula W. Ravenmore

She did not know if it was this island or if it was just the fact that Largo seemed to be such good company but either way it was a good feeling here. "I do hope so," she said as she nodded. "I think that would be good and also thank you for taking those tennis lessons with me. I did not know if they would work out for sure but so far they seem to be doing extremely good for you and myself too." Largo Vasquez

Things were working out quite well but he'd still take time to do things right. "We'll certainly know more after the lessons and its different from just going to the gym. We'll learn about each other as we learn tennis" he replied. It had been a good evening and the drinks finished it of nicely. "Tonight has been fun" he added softly. It might continue a while longer and it seemed they both had the time. Ula W. Ravenmore
