[b]Johannes Angelicus
He had business to take care of. And he wasn't happy about it. It wasn't his fault, necessarily, but it was his responsibility, now. Whoever had shot Snowden's dog--he had to talk to them, he had to make sure they knew--not only were guns a rare resource--or the ammo was at least--but that was someone's dog. You couldn't just shoot things.
He had been heading around the lodge, looking for the man--when he found him, he cleared his throat. "Uh--hey. I need to talk to you."

[align=center][div style="width:500px; text-align:justify;"]The male had been with Max, as usual. They'd been out for another one of their walks, Snowden resting now on the porch steps as Max darted about the snow, marking the trees that began the small wood, occasionally freezing to watch as a bird flew by, and digging in the snow. He'd experienced snow before, of course, but every time Snowden exposed him to it, the canine went wild, acting as if he'd never seen it before.
The brunette was clad in his coat that he brought tighter about himself as the cold nipped at him, fingers tapping on the rifle's cool metal under his coat when Johannes approached. The veteran remained seated, unbothered by the other's presence as he continued watching his dog as the other spoke. "What, we breakin' up, boss?" He grunted, shifting to glance up at the other, readjusting his cap. "What'd ya need?"

Johannes hadn't really spoken to Snowden before, and he wasn't sure to expect-though being quite honest, he worried the man would be...hostile. Though he wasn't sure he'd blame him, Johannes wasn't looking forward to a confrontation. At the man's casual tone, he felt a bit off guard, and opened his mouth, the words not coming at first as he glanced over to the dog. Looking back at Snowden, he cleared his throat again, this time just for his own benefit, and spoke--choosing to gloss over his quip. "I wanted to ask about Max. I--" He bit his lip, feeling a bit less confident than he'd like. "I need to know who did it--who shot him, I mean. I just..want to make sure no one here is...especially trigger-happy, and as you might've noticed--you're not the only newcomer. I'm worried about those who--well, who've just....shown up. I don't want someone--human or not--getting shot unless...they've gotta be." He swallowed--he didn't like the sound of anyone getting shot, but, sometimes it would be necessary. He hoped the guy wouldn't take offense.

[align=center][div style="width:500px; text-align:justify;"]The male awaited the other's response as he seemed to start to speak but paused, instead his attention settling on Max. When the other finally did speak, Snowden's eyes narrowed as he listened to his words, head tilting slightly. The brunette remained silent a moment after Johannes' words, as if deciding how he wished to respond, wetting his lips before he laughed briefly, almost a scoff in reply. "Snowden. That's my name if you ever intended to learn the names of one o' the 'newcomers' that you're so worried about." He replied slowly, shifting the rifle under his coat as he stood, sarcastic smile upon his busted lips.
"And Max is fine, if you were going to ask that as well. He's recovering well- been keeping him indoors for the most part- y'know, not wanting you 'n your members to go hunting him. He's had all his shots." He laughed bitterly at that. "Additionally, I'm not gonna rat out whoever shot 'im. Me and 'im, we worked it out on our own." His smile widened. [b]"But if it helps ya sleep easier, I'm teaching 'im how to handle a gun on my own time. Just as it seems I'll soon be doing for the other 'trigger-happy' members of your group."[b]

The moment Snowden opened his mouth, Johannes felt like shrinking back--he didn't tthink he did, physically; but the wasn't certain that he hadn't at least betrayed some of the sinking feeling he felt in his chest. He hadn't wanted to piss him off--he'd wanted more than anything else, to be on his good side. Figure this out--since it was his responsibility to make sure they were safe. He swallowed, arms folded--but it was clear they were laced tightly around his chest; folded not out of irritation but binding himself almost as a move of reassurance. It seemed every point out of Snowden's mouth was snark, and made him feel guiltier--but none of it was untrue.
Maybe he'd been busy--figuring out names and faces wasn't easy for him, and he tended to just recognize the faces on their own, paired with their actions. It was simpler for him, though he knew eventually he'd have to ask people's names. Still....the way Snowden put it--it seemed like he didn't care about them. Which--wasn't true. It just wasn't, though he was sometimes irked by that fact. Things would be a lot easier of he didn't.
He nodded, though, keeping in time with the man's words, unable to stop his small cringe at the mention of hunting. It...had been a poor choice of words. But--they'd been attacked, and he wasn't going to hurt someone's dog. Unlike this mystery shooter.
He was pretty clearly stressed at this point. His feet were shifting, his eyes not fully meeting Snowden except at intervals where he felt it safe to do so. He stiffened when Snowden refused to 'rat out' the shooter, and it was there Johannes realized he had to put his foot down. "No--it doesn't. I'm not going to just let--someone who shot your dog walk around without knowing who--you're putting people at risk. If you won't tell me, I'll find out." He took a breath, hoping momentum would keep his stammer down. He was anxious, but he was also just a bit angry. "I want everyone here to know how to defend themselves and how not to hurt anyone--I'm trying to work on that. I--I appreciate you offering your help. A lot. We need it, but--I--I--" Fuck, fuck, where was he going with this? He was saying--he was trying to placate Snowden. Not infuriate him. Johannes didn't have a speech impediment; but he stumbled and stuttered quite often, when it came down to it. He didn't know how to stay calm when talking to others, and it was showing. He didn't look angry--just....wired up and tense. "I'm sorry, I just--I need to do everything I can to-to keep everyone safe."
