Stay frozen in place, hoping the kids go away

You remain still as a statue The older child walks straight over to you.

"Come on out of there, mister," she says.

You point to your throat and shake your head, trying to convey "I can't speak."

She gets it immediately. "Mute, huh?"

You nod.

"But you can still hear me and understand what I'm saying."

You nod again.

One of the adults wanders over. "Who are you talking to?"

The girl points at you. "He's mute, Dad. But he can hear."

Dad leads her back towards the picnic site. "Leave him be, then." He turns towards you. "Need anything?" You shake your head. "Everything good?" You nod.

Dad and the girl walk off.

Follow along, getting close enough to observe the picnic

Retreat deeper into the forest
