Francis didn't push the issue further. He didn't like seeing her upset like this, and he certainly didn't want her to stay disheartened. Approaching her while she had her head in her hands, he began to run his fingers through her hair.<br/><br/>"C'mon... No more tears... would it make you feel better if we went hunting? We haven't had lunch yet and I know of a hunter free zone that's not too far from here." He cupped her chin in his left hand and brought her eyes to meet his. Smiling sympathetically, he continued "It's kind of like a nature reserve, so no one can shoot at us, ok?"<br/><br/>He smiled. "We don't have to talk about anything you don't want to talk about. Just don't be surprised if you see something that the outside world deems non-existent when we get to the hunting grounds."<br/><br/>He smiled and went over to the door, putting on a pair of shoes and a coat, then motioned for her to follow.
