Annika had decided that she was going to go off and get some dinner for the delinquents. They were starting to run low...well kinda. In all reality she just wanted something to do and hunting was a great way to occupy herself and her hands. The last time she had been out was with Bellamy, and that wasn't really that great. She had ruined it, and then she had to kill a grounder. She had felt awful about it for the longest of time but she was fine now. Well, that's what she thought.

She slung her gun over her shoulder and checked to make sure that she had her knife in case she did get a deer or something. When she felt it on the side of her hip, she head out for the newest adventure. No doubt if Bellamy found out that she had gone out alone, he'd be mad, but she needed time to herself.

Walked across the forest, she turned towards the thicker part of it. There always seemed to be a thicker supply of food. She stepped carefully and to her luck, she saw a deer. It had the weird face that most all of them had. She raised her gun, getting ready to pull the trigger. She had it's heart in her line of sight just as she started to squeeze it. Bang! And then it fell.

Lucien had become aware of the Sky people, and with them having already killed some of his people it seemed to others they were a threat, and the enemy, but he didn't exactly agree with that view. With being aware of them having used firearms against his people he thought it would be wise to observe them before forming an opinion for himself. He had kept out of sight for the past week observing the sky people from above, in the trees, and as he did he thought they could be of use with their weapons against the enemies his people feared; the reapers, and the mountain men.

As he continued to watch them he heard a gunshot, which led him to believe one of the sky people had gotten into another confrontation with his people. He started to Run into the direction the sound of gunfire came from moving through bushes. Upon reaching the origin of the gunshot he came across a mutated deer that had been shot, and the shooter; a young woman. He was face to face with the sky person, and he just stood there silent, and with his eyes focused on her, and with tribal markings covering his face it was obvious he was a grounder.

A smug smile came to play across her face when she realized that she hadn't messed up her hunt. Bellamy would be proud she had finally gotten past it. She was doing better than before. And then a grounder came at her face. How did she know? He had these weird marking on them. She quickly raised the gun to shoot him, for that was her first instinct. She pulled the trigger but it just clicked. She tried it again and again and it still didn't.

"Stupid piece of crap." She mumbled as she dropped it and reached behind her back for her knife. The same one she had used for the last grounder actually. She brought it in front of her and brandished it near him. "Stay away from me. Trust me, you won't be the first of your kind that I've killed so far!" She said, referring to that one she had killed not to long ago. She didn't want to kill him, but he was more than likely going to kill her.

When the girl attempted to fire at him with her rifle he immediately took cover, but upon discovering the firearm had malfunctioned he was amused somewhat. "Such unreliable weapons.." He thought to himself as he removed himself from cover, and was once again face to face with the outsider. Despite the weapon's malfunction he did respect that she tried to eliminate a potential threat with no clear signs of hesitation it made him think if the two people did become allies they could be of use to his own. He didn't back away when she drew a knife, and showed no fear whatsoever there was only one thing he feared, and it certainty wasn't this girl.

In response to her drawing her knife he unsheathed his sword, and walked towards the young woman thus showing no heed of her warning. He had no intention of killing her he did however desire to test her skill even after hearing she had killed one of his people he wasn't sure what she was capable, and wanted to find out for himself. Gripping his sword he charged towards her, and attacked while holding back, which went against his every instinct. When fighting his instinct was to fight with his full power, and without mercy, but death wasn't something he wanted in that moment. As he attacked he remained silent as if he was some kind of mute.

He had gotten out of the way when she had pulled the trigger. When he realized that it wouldn't work, he had come back. She stared at the guy for a moment. He had a death wish or something. Or maybe she did. He didn't move one bit nor did he show fear of being threatened with a knife. The next thing he did showed her why he had no fear of her. Holy shit, mother of fucking god. She thought. That is a huge ass sword.

When he stared coming towards her, she took a step back. Then she reached her arm back and tossed the knife, her aim steady and true. She wasn't aiming to kill him, she didn't want to anyway. She was aiming to hit the grounder's shoulder, and it succeeded to hit it. She had her other knife anyway. After she tossed her first, she crouched down, pulling out her second. She held it with the blade hitting her bare skin and her hand holding the hilt. The way she was taught to fight with the stance and knife after all.
