Alexander came out from the woods half running, half jogging. He had been walking nearby, and had noticed the faint scent of human blood. He followed his nose more than his eyes to locate the boy. As he approached, he kept his attention on the surroundings, assuming there had been a fight of some sort. "Hey kid, are you all right?" He crouched and kind of awkwardly slapped the boy's face with the back of his hand a few times.

"Wake up."

"Oh, good morning." He greeted them with a yawn. "Forgive me, I must have..." He looked around him. "Oh... This again" He mumbled.


"You did all of this?" Alex looked very neutral. "Why'd you go and mess all these trees up?" Alex assumed the boy had no intention of cleaning up after himself. Alex was reckless at times himself, but that only at the risk of injuring himself-- not his surroundings (not that he could cause destruction on this scale even if he wished to).

"Why did he ruin all the trees? The trees are beautiful. Why would he want to ruin them?"

"I um..." He cleared his throat. "Well, I um... ran out of punching bags... Then ran out of boulders... I didn't think anyone would come out this far so... I thought... I'd..." He stopped. The rest was obvious. "I've... Been coming out here for a while... It isn't often someone finds me here."
