I don’t think the girl was really doing any talking, but the other two were. I believe they were skeptical because they asked the girl who was climbing in the trees the same exact questions an hour later in a condescending manner. They realized they weren’t going to get the concessions that they were hoping to get from either during the course of the hour and half so they left.

Ki floated from subject to subject a lot and that is more likely the reason why they the tone of the conversation changed. That is how I perceived the incident anyway.

I don’t know if I would have classified the three students who walked up while we were talking to Ki as missionaries, I think they were just students from campus. (The girl stated that she was up from LA visiting her friends.) Once they joined the conversation, they definitely had a confrontational tone in their comments, but the one fellow then softened his tone after his first few comments. I couldn’t tell if they were being confrontational on purpose or were just trying to understand the basis behind the protest and came off wrong (and quickly adjusted) in their tone.

I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and think they just came off wrong in their tone and were just trying to understand the situation.

Or at least I like to think so…
