The catch up continues… Day 23, Li'l Bad Wolf I went with a hybrid of his original shorts look with his Dell comics look. #lilbadwolf #bigbadwolf #threelittlepigs #sillysymphony #sillysymphonies #disney #disneycomic #mickeymouse #Inktober

“Li'l Wolf wants to be a good wolf, and his father often scolds him for being friends with the Three Little Pigs. However, it has been shown that Big Bad is not a bad father. He adores his son and has on occasion passed up the possibility of porkchops for the safety of his son.”

“My father constantly tries to kill and eat my best friends” sure is a… premise for a children’s comic (X)

Suppose Gon was out on the town & he got ambushed by gangsters. But before they can try & hurt him, a Cherryton student comes to his rescue & fights off the attackers. Depending on if the student was a carnivore or herbivore, if they survive (albeit injured/wounded & hospitalized, recovery optional) or not, how would he feel about them saving his life? What would he do after? Talk to the student's family? Tell the news to the rest of the school? Hospital or funeral/grave visits? Show his thanks?

So my first thought for this was Bill, because tigers gonna tiger. But then I remembered someone else raised by tigers - Pina.

And Pina is exactly the kind of reckless little moron (affectionate) that would try and fight off gangsters single-handedly. It was Riz's turn with the brain-cell, okay?

I do think Pina would probably survive - those horns are sharp, even if they were hollow - but he wouldn't be unscathed, definitely wounded enough to land him a trip to the ER.

Gon is a very practical person, and he's been shown as very much on the student's side with regards to forcing one to be Beastar (and all the negatives that come with it), so I don't think he'd be too hung up about a student saving him.

The guilt would come from Pina getting hurt, more than anything. As principal, Gon would already know about Pina's living situation, so he'd be aware of why some random Dall sheep tried to save his life - Dall sheep or not, Pina's an honourary tiger for life.

He'd definitely need to tell Pina's family, since Pina wound up in hospital (or even if he wasn't hurt at all, he still got in a fight with gangsters), but I don't think he'd tell the rest of the school what happened - I think he'd see it as Pina's place to tell who he trusted with the information.

He'd have to talk to the school board and the other teachers to explain why Pina is going to miss classes, although since this is likely post-Tem, he might release a brief announcement to the students that Pina is in hospital and will make a full recovery, to stop them from panicking. Maybe add in that it wasn't a predation attempt, but that's verging on disclosing personal information. I think he'd discuss it with the school board/teachers/Pina's family before saying anything.

As far as showing his thanks, I reckon Gon wouldn't be the type for big dramatic announcements - that's Pina's style - so he'd probably just exempt him from homework for the rest of the academic year and donate some money to Pina's bank account as anonymously as possible - probably hands a cheque to Pina's mother to deposit on his behalf.

The gratitude is there, Gon is just a reserved person naturally, and doubly so when the person he's trying to express gratitude to is one of his students and he has to be careful about propriety. He might arrange to visit the hospital with Pina's family once or twice, but he's wary of stepping on their toes when they're trying to visit their son/brother.
