Hey there, stranger. Don't think I gotta explain the situation: you called, I didn't pick up. Leave me a message and maybe I'll get back to you.

Hey there, I sure am. And who might you be?

[ This might just be the most polite salutation he's ever had. He doesn't know whether to be charmed, or highly suspicious. ]

[hiyosilver]

[ A fair reaction, everyone should be suspicious of someone who says Miss Ashe. ]

My name's William Denrough. Everyone calls me Bill, though. Miss Ashe said that you might be able to help teach me how to use a gun.

[almightythirst]

Did she now? Mighty kind of her to put in a good word.

You ever shot a gun before, Bill?

[ This might be some kind of really weird trap, but he'll roll with it anyway. Not like he has anything better to do today. And best-case scenario? This is actually someone he can help. ]

[hiyosilver]

Just a BB gun, sir. My aim's not very good, though.

[almightythirst]

Nobody's aim is good to start. We'll get you hitting bullseyes in no time.

You know where Clarke Acres is? I have practice range out behind my house. Come on over and we'll get you started.

[hiyosilver]

You think? It'd be real swell if that's true.

That's the part of town with all the creepy corn fields, right?

[almightythirst]

Sure is. Just don't go wandering off and you'll be fine.

I'm at 1434 Gatlin. Just holler before you come knocking so I can get a few things ready.

[hiyosilver]

Yes, sir! I usually have to go to school during the day time, will that be a problem with your schedule?

[ Adults are always super busy, right??????? ]

[almightythirst]

[ Oh yes, so busy. Because Jesse is a very Respectable Adult. So of course he's busy, uh. Doing whatever it is Respectable Adults do.

Also, knowing this is a kid now makes so much more sense. ]

You just come on over when you've got time. My schedule is flexible.
