Gah! A laser gun, of course! Why didn't I think of that!?

Well too late now, not really a major detail of the story anyways I guess. Adventure Times tech level is weird. It's either medieval times-ish or slightly futuristic.

The Hunter

Part 2

The hunter let out a sigh as he picked his weapon back up and strapped onto his back. He lowered down as he approached where the animal had been. He seemed to be examining the ground around where it stood.

Finn leaned closer to Jake. "Should we say hi?"

Jake looked around for a bit before responding. "This guys kind of... Sure, why not."

Jake was surprised when Finn took his response as a cue to flip out of the shrubbery that they had been hidden in.

The moment he landed Finn shouted, "Hey man!"

The green skinned man nearly tumbled back onto the grass but gained support against a tree. The hunter reached for his knife before realizing Finn was just a boy. Jake slowly joined them after stepping out of the bushes himself.

The hunter spoke after regaining his composure. "What are you two doing out here?"

Finn shrugged at the question. "I dunno, just walking I guess."

Jake hesitated to speak. "So... We saw you take that shot. That was... Yeah."

The hunter's head seemed to hang a bit lower the moment Jake mentioned seeing the shot.

"Yes. That was... A mistake." He didn't appear to want to talk about it anymore.

He used one hand to move a bush out of his way as he continued forward. Finn and Jake crept quietly behind him as he looked over the ground in front of him. They assumed he was trying to follow the animal from before.

After they had walked for a few minutes The hunter stopped to reload his gun. Finn decided to break the silence first.

"How much-"

"Gah!" The hunter fell back, surprised by Finn's presence. "I- What are you doing here!?"

Finn spoke uncertainly, "Following... you?"

The hunter paused for a few moments before responding, "Why?"

Finn and Jake shared a slightly embarrassed look as Jake spoke. "You know... Because. We were bored."

The hunter's expression appeared extremely confused as he responded. "Okay. Uh, that's odd... Listen, I kind of need to work on my hunting skills here. It would be easier without you two tagging along."

"Yeah, we saw that..." Jake mumbled to himself.

Evidently the hunter heard him but made no complaint. He simply let out a slight huff and kept walking forward. "It's just a bad day. I'll get over it."

Finn and Jake didn't immediately follow him and instead chose to talk amongst themselves for a moment.

"It seems like there's a story here." Jake said.

"Well we need something to do right?" Finn responded.

"I don't think he wants our help man."

"It's either this or we spend the next 4 hours wandering through the woods with nothing to do."

Jake nodded after a moment and they walked at a brisk pace to catch back up to the hunter.

…...

Bah... I had no energy yesterday or the day before. I couldn't get any real ideas.

The word count on this is pathetic for three days of typing. I gave myself an extra day after two days resulted in a lower word count than my first story.

I sure hope I can recover for tomorrow.
