digging through the trash.

WARNINGS: None!

It seemed to be the only way to find what she was looking for.

Walking between the giant piles of.. miscellaneous items, Saber found herself wondering how long these items had been dropping here, and what rate. When people had mentioned junk pile, she was expecting a few small piles and maybe holes filled. Not this.

Since she had been here for an hour or so, she had started a small pile of canned food she planned on carrying back to the Rec Center when she decided she had enough. She'd come back to the small pile, drop off a few more items, and then go explore in another direction.

At first, she had hardly been touching anything, but now her armored gloves were proving useful in ways she hadn't thought of before; it helped her sift through things without the risk of her hands being harmed.

Well, she wouldn't keep doing this too much longer. The more she searched, the less likely she figured she'd find what she wanted.

"The Rec Center is not too far from here, if you do wish to help," Saber nodded, beginning to walk towards the pile. Normally, she didn't accept help, but she didn't mind spending a bit more time with this Ventus.

As she took a few steps, she stopped, and looked sheepishly to the side.

"I do not entirely expect to be able to find what I am looking for here. I'm seeking for.. a suit to fit to my size."

With her living in modern times, she had disliked wearing civilian clothing, at first. It, however, grew on her, and she wouldn't mind the choice here. As Saber mentioned, she wasn't expecting to find it, so she had also turned her searching into something more productive, like finding canned goods.

     "Sure, not a problem!" he piped, grabbing his sack before following along almost like an eager puppy.

     He set the bag down again once they were by Saber's can stacks, shoving aside some things in the sack to make room for a few cans.

     "A suit? Oh... Well Kay told me she found stuff for curtains around here, and now and then you might find some stray clothes of some kind. I don't know about anything specific like that." Ventus tilted his head, pausing a moment before he eased another can into his sack.

     "But maybe someone around here can make you one? I have...a little experience in sewing but I've never actually pieced together something from scratch." Only altered a dress, which was an interesting experience, especially when you were only about several inches tall at the time.

"It's no large concern of mine. The idea simply came up while I decided to look into this junk pile. I will keep that in mind, however. Thank you."

As Ventus was moving cans into his sack, Saber was stacking cans in her arms. Once she was finished stacking to the point that she was concerned they'd fall over if she attempted to stack one more, she'd stop and allow him the last few. She had taken the majority.

"If you would lead the way, I'd appreciate it."

After all, she couldn't see in front of her feet.

     Deciding that was probably enough cans in the sack, he carefully lifted it to sling over a shoulder, gathering the few left to hold in his arms. It was quite a substantial weight altogether, but not unmanageable at least.

     Ventus glanced over his shoulder, just getting a good look at Saber's own load. Lips quirking, he nodded before speaking up- right, she probably wouldn't be able to see.

     "Okay, sure," he said, turning to start along, looking for the most level path to take.
