— — — ⟡ -— — — there had been no plan to walk through the forest on his own at night, but here liam was trudging through the underbrush in hopes of finding another campsite with people present. he should have been more mindful about rushing out of the foliage, but he was both tired and excited to see another living being. when he found himself looking down the pointed and hot dog covered end of a stick, liam held up his hands in surrender. ❝ Pardon me, ❜ as she cursed he furrowed his brows, ❝ I am sorry – I did not mean to scare you. ❜
letting his hands fall back to his backpack straps, he tried to offer the stranger an explanation rather than leave her to think he was some kind of vagabond. ❝ I promise that I mean you no harm, I just need to find someone that can take me into town. I need to call a tow truck, but my phone took a nice swim in a creek this afternoon. ❜ liam reached back and fumbled for his wallet in one of his zipped back pockets, flipping to his identification cards for a university in the area and his permanent resident card. ❝ You can confirm any part of my story if you have a phone. ❜
