He saw it as another opportunity to play around. A lake meant swimming, and also throwing stones to see how far across it would go. Young little Naiee slid down rocks and rubble but lost his footing and ended up scabbing his knees but kids had accidents like that all the time. Especially ones as active as him. So it didn’t hurt. He only stopped to wipe dirt from the wound. When it was ‘clean’ to him he took off one of his boots to test out the water temperature. It was cold. No swimming then. Rocks it was, putting his boots back on he noticed a rustle nearby and nearly fell right back into the water except more then just his foot. But he caught himself.
Picking up a nearby stick he pouted, trying to look as ‘fierce’ as possible. No baddies would get him no sir. And when the stranger did emerge he whacked them with said stick. Only to stop once he was told to stop. “Oh, you’re just some ordinary guy..”
He almost sounded dissapointed like he wanted to face some beast. Like a mountain lion maybe. Bravery or stupidity. Stupidity most likely.
