He shrugged. "It'll also be more dangerous to have so it's your choice. Either way you should learn how to at the very least defend yourself."

"im not really an aggressive person" she sighs "i wont survive out here will i" she puts her head back on her knees

He chuckled slightly. "You don't have to be aggressive, ya have to be smart. Well, being aggressive might help in a fight but really what's going to help you is your brain. I mean, sure I'm aggressive, but if I attack someone three times my weight, brute force isn't gonna do much, will it?" He shrugged. "Strength isn't all about hurting people, it's knowing how to survive even when you're at a disadvantage." He scanned her briefly and grunted. "You would probably do best with a staff of some sort. Whack em over the head and run."

" i just hope they dont come after me and put me bavk in the foster system.."she sighs "ill do anything to make sure i dondt go back

He grunted. "Like I said before, just use your brain." He grinned. "I've been out here in my own since I was five, and neither the foster care system or the police have been able to catch me. You'll be fine if you use your head "

"alright" she looked at him with a small smile "thank you"

He shrugged and stood up. After a slight heasitation, he offered her his hand. "Come on, there's a cave you can stay in. I usually sleep in a tree or in there if I can. I'll make you a staff once we get you settled."

she nods slightly placed her hand in his and stood up she dusted herself off then looked at him

He turned around and started walking to the cave, thinking about why he was helping someone. He shrugged it off after a moment since she had said she would pull her own weight. And besides, if he could train her well enough, it would be good to have someone at his back since he was always getting into fights or other trouble. He could get used to being around a person he didn't need to be suspicious of, in time.

she bit her lip slightly and followed him, she looked around as she walked. she knew this was a bad idea but she wanted to get out of that house.
