James
James heard footsteps nearby, and turned to see who it was. Hopefully, he didn't have someone after him already. He kind of wanted to make a weapon first, so that he could at least defend himself. That's why he had grabbed the knife; it would be good for carving. He could probably make an axe handle, and find a rock to use as the head.
Scanning the trees, he saw that it was Serenity. "Hey, Serenity!" He called, loud enough for her to hear but not too loudly. He didn't want to draw any unwanted attention.
Mackenzie
Mackenzie watched as two girls descended from the tree. They looked to be a couple of years older than her, but that didn't mean they were stronger. She eyed them warily, as one took out some knives. She raised her bow, thinking that the girl would attack, only to hear the girl say she wouldn't. So, Mackenzie lowered her bow slightly, though still held it drawn in case it was needed. "I don't shoot unless provoked," she replied. She sincerely hoped that the girl meant what she said about not throwing the knives.
