Mitsunari saw the mountain man raise his axe...
"Now, you're speaking my language...." Mitsunari pulled out his Tessen (Iron Folding Fan) and glared at him until...
He mountain man started crying!
"You've got to be joking, he's an over-sized baby like Masanori," Mitsunari thought.
"Well, whatever, I'm leaving."
Mitsunari left into the caves again, hopefully to find the way out to the next town.
An never run into that mountain man again.
Hopefully...
"If only some of my friends were here to shut him up, I'll be home free and away from that fool..."
He thought again.

After a very manly man pulled himself back from the manliest crying ever, he found that the man had gone. Anthony wasn't sure what to do at this point. Should he go after the man? He was definately frustrated with the mountain man, but that same mountain man wanted so badly to apologize! He was torn. At an impass. The desision was to answer a question that could not be answered. He might as well been asked what would happed if pinnochio said his nose would grow.
He answered this question briskly in the way he always answered these questions, by selecting an answer randomly and then acting like none of the other answers made any sense. (The same way polititions answer any question!) He decided to walk around randomly, hopefully in search of a way back to the meadow he was in earlier,
By a stroke of random luck, his wanderings lead him directly to the man, who seemed to be more or less deep in thought.
"I'M SORRY I THREW FOOD AT YOU!" the thunderus voice yet again echoed through the mountains.

"I'M SORRY I THREW FOOD AT YOU!" the thunderous voice yet again echoed through the mountains.
"Tch, yeah right," Mitsun rolled his eyes and kept walking.
But, now when he thought about it, the man was polite enough to apologize... In an awkwardly fashion, but he did apologize...
Mitsunari briefly turned around in the darkness, staring back at the entrance.
He paused, sighed and kept walking.
"It figures if he tried to follow me I'll just end up yelling at him again," he sighed.
But, Mitsun did feel a little guilty for treating that man that way...
Mitsun sat on a rock for a bit and waited a bit.
Will the man follow him? Or will he leave on his own leaving Mitsun alone again?
Mitsun just sat there, lit a small fire and kept reading...
"Three fools, would be a handful for anyone!" Sakon jeered. "WHY YOU!" Masanori flailed. ...

A fire flickered brightly with it's wild, untaimable flames, in stark contrast to the soul-piercing darkness. For the first time in a long time, the light wasn't coming from Anthony's (suprisingly cozy) lantern, but from someone else's fire. This made the mountain man strangly uncomfortable, which was a silly, irrational fear. There was nothing scary about a camp fire. There was nothing Scary about a camp fire. There was nothing scary. About. A. Camp. Fire.
Hiker Anthony was truly terrified of camp fires.
He wasn't at all scared of raging forest fires, and would sprint through them reclessly to save the lives of others. He wasn't at all scared of Stove fires, which cooked his pork and beans quite nicely. But camp fires made him unnaturally uneasy. Probably because there was someone else. In his forest. Yet again, he was at an impass. He didn't know what to do.
He solved this problem the way he always solved these sort of problems, the same way poloticians do...
The hiker sprinted towards the fire, full speed, mommentum like a steam locomotive bellowing through the forest. Screaming the low cry of a man entering battle, he approached the fire, all fear now gone from his eyes. He was invinsible. He stopped almost instantly, close enough to the fire that it burnt off some of his arm hair,.
He dumped a bucket of water onto the fire, instantly extingushing it.
Looking at the man, Anthony new this probably wasn't the smartest decision he'd made all day. He lit his lamp.
"I'm sorry, but that... I had to put out that fire, fella. You don't understand."

Suddenly Mitsun heard a train...
'Oh no..." he moaned. He put his book away and crossed his arms.
Suddenly, a loud SPLAAAAAAAAAASH!!! came out of no where and Mitsunari was sopping wet!
Mitsunari was seachless... He gathered himself together as he realized that his rusty-orange hair was ruined!
"M-my...my... hair..." Mitsunari stuttered.
"I'm sorry, but that... I had to put out that fire, fella. You don't understand."
Mitsunari clenched his fist and it shook in anger....
"My... hair... my HAIR! YOU FOOL! WHAT WAS THAT FOR! I WAS USING THAT FIRE TO READ IN THE DARK!" Mitsunari screamed in a massive fury.

This guy was mad. Very mad. Hiker Anthony looked back again about how this was a bad decision. Then he realised something. He was holding a lantern! This man could easily read by lantern light!
Hiker Anthony quickly reached into his bag, got his backup lantern, lit it and handed it to the man. "Here, you can use this to read." He said, in the most polite way possible. "And I'm sorry about your hair, but..." He tried to quickly come up with a lie that the man might believe, "You were in danger!"
Anthony knealed down on one knee and ran a long blade of grass between his fingers. "This grass is extremely flamable. You could've had this whole place up in a blaze!" Anthony only hoped that it was dark enough that the man couldn't read his expression. He was a terrible liar, he allways wore a look of guilt on his face, and this time it was worse than ever.
