An Adventure
Who: Cathair and Jamie
Where: The Forest's Edge
When: Afternoonish

Jamie was no stranger to sleeping in until someone came and shook him awake. He was a teenage boy after all and they did that. So it was no surprise to him that he awoke when the sun was well in the sky. It was only a surprise that he awoke in a bed and not in a gutter, badly beaten and robbed. He touched his neck lightly, expecting a great pain but there wasn't much left. He'd gotten up and gone about his morning routine as per usual, quite curious about the new surroundings. He'd found a black wooden rosary that was quite beat up on the kitchen table along with his guitar and a couple of books.

The message from the Commissioner had been interesting enough and slightly alarming about the forest. With a little shrug, he'd changed his clothes (amused to see that his dress plaids were hanging in his closet sans decorative weapons but not sans sporran) and headed out with a bottle of water and a ham sandwich in hand. By the time he trekked his way up to the edge of the forest, no worse for the wear, the sandwich was gone.

"Ah, well... This is the big bad forest then. Doesnae look like much..." Of course it also wasn't night yet. Jamie settled down on the ground, watching the trees but not quite ready to venture out there just yet.

	He snorted a little with amusement. That sounded about right. And at least children generally didn't get fleas. Okay, there were lice but that was entirely beside the point. And also, no monkey pox. "I donae think that's ever going to happen for me, mate. I've never even dated. And now I'm on a bloody island where my only options are... monkeys apparently." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Cathair scoffed. "You're not even old enough to be worrying about it," he pointed out. "I bet you've not even started your first year at university."

Now when he got to his age and was still unmarried and unattached, then he could be certain there'd be no such thing in his future.

As for the monkeys comment, he decided to opt for winding the boy up than actually discussing being stuck here forever. "I thought that was sheep?" he suggested with a smirk. And prepared to get thumped again.

"I could'hae been but I opted for an extra year," he said with a little shrug. It wasn't like he was bragging that he was just oh so smart. "But I hadnae even had a girl at all." He used girl automatically though he knew he sort of preferred boys over girls though he liked both. It was just easier on everyone.

No thumping this time. Jamie wasn't exactly offended. Instead he laughed and shook his head a little, "That's Wales, mate. Don't make me pelt y'with potatoes, aye?" Well if Cathair was going to start, so was he!

"I didn't really need to know that, boyo," Cathair drawled. "You're still young. And haven't even made it to university yet." He knew for a fact that women rather liked the mannerly, bookish sort. He'd never had a problem attracting females. But then, he wasn't trying to and seemed to be just as good at putting them off, so he wasn't very good example. For anything.

"Better potatoes than haggis," he shot back playfully. And while they both could likely have fun taking shots at the Welsh, that was a bit too easy.

"What? No, I mean..." He sighed a little and muttered a 'nevermind'. It was probably not the best idea to explain just how damned innocent he was to the monkey thrower. Or really, monkey tosser and he did mean that in the bad way. Twat. "I donae even know what I was going to study at uni." Really, he was going because he was good at school and his father wanted him to.

Jamie scoffed a little and shook his head, "I don't even like haggis... But anyhow, potatoes would hurt more so I'm glad ye're willing to take the pain."

Cathair shrugged. "Most people don't when they first go in," he admitted. "I only did because I knew from the age of 12 onwards I wanted to be a historian like my father. Most people have to try a few things before they find their place." Really, what was all this rush to have his life figured out before he was even really a man? He wanted to warn Jamie that life would do that for him, but he hoped the younger man's life wouldn't take any near a bad turn as his own had. Let him be innocent a bit longer. Enjoy it even.

He scoffed and shook his head. "You better start running again boyo or I'll show you pain," he shot back lightly.

Jamie laughed and shrugged his shoulders, "Well, the main thing I want to do is be a singer. I don't think I need Uni for that, yeah?" He shook his head a little, amused at himself since he knew it was always a good idea to have a contingency plan. Being a singer was not a good plan at all.

"Oh aye, I'll be sure to do that, dad," he rolled his eyes and kept at his casual pace. Not a single step faster. He didn't expect Cathair to really get his knickers in a twist over a comment like that.

"A singer then?" Cath said. "Well, no. But there's a better chance of actually making a career of it when you have schooling." After all, there were music courses offered. Even when he'd been at university.

Dad? Cathair chuckled at that, even if it did hit a cord he didn't want to admit to. He'd be so lucky to ever have a son like this boy someday. As for the cheek, well, he wasn't going to let that go so easily.

"Dad?" he scoffed, coming up behind Jamie and grabbing him into a headlock. He ruffled the younger man's hair affectionately. "I'm not that old, boyo."

Jamie just shrugged it off. He had no idea what he was really going to do with his life. But he'd figure it out eventually. "Ah well... No point in worrying about it right now, aye?"

He was struck by a fit of the giggles when Cathair grabbed him, not really fighting it. It was easier to just let these sorts of things go, "Like I even know! Now gerrof before I stomp your toes." But he was grinning and just having fun...

And the rest of the walk went much the same way! Hurray. The end.
