Oh yeah, I'm fine. [ It doesn't hurt a bit! He's a weirdo like that. ] Did you wanna sleep?

[meilihua]

N-no, I think if I tried to go to sleep now I'd have nightmares... Better to just keep going, yeah?

[shortestfuse]

[ Nightmares. He feels a pang in his chest and frowns a little. ] Yeah if you wanna...

[ So he sets out. Unsure of where to go. ] You wanna go anywhere in particular?

[meilihua]

Um...somewhere safe? [Sorry, bad joke, bad joke...]

[shortestfuse]

[ He sniffs, amused. ] Okay, somewhere safe. [ He pulls her along by the arm still wrapped around his. ]

[meilihua]

[Oh, she just noticed-

But they're running somewhere, so maybe he's just being nice? Making sure she doesn't get lost?]

[shortestfuse]

[ They stop a few stores down. A clothing store. ]

Well, it's not really much different... there's a grocery store attached here...

[ He points at the map when he drags it out of his pocket. ]

[meilihua]

Maybe we could go in and see if there's anything useful? I'm sure everyone else is getting a little hungry...

[shortestfuse]

Yeah, me too. [ He was starving! ] Let's go then, I think it's that way.

[ He turns the map around. ] ... Or this way...

[meilihua]

[Laughing a little bit, tugging on his hand so she can see the map a little better] Let me try...

[shortestfuse]

... [ Tilts it so she can see the map better. ]

[meilihua]

[She's going to stare at it for a while, glancing around them a little nervously] ...right. We go to the right.

[shortestfuse]

Okay, you're better at this than I am. [ He leads them off to the right. ]

[meilihua]

[Suddenly she's really glad - if still embarrassed - that she's still holding on to him...sort of...]

It's kind of dark...

[shortestfuse]

Yeah it got dark pretty quick. Maybe there are some lights 'round here. Or flashlights.

[ Holding his arm in the gentlemanly way for her, they descend a flight of stairs and approach the store. ]

They gotta have some supplies in here.

[meilihua]

[As sucky as this whole experience, she's at least getting some enjoyment out of it...] Maybe there's a camping store or something. Can I see the map again?

[shortestfuse]

Ah, good idea. [ He holds out the map for them again and he looks over it. ] This-... no, that's not one... uh...

[meilihua]

[Giggling a little behind her hands] L-let's try getting food first.

[shortestfuse]

Yeah, heh... okay. That's in here for sure. [ He points to the grocery store they're approaching. ]

[meilihua]

[It's dark, but at least they can see...] Let's try to find things that might not have gone bad yet... Dry foods or maybe cans...

[shortestfuse]

Ah, yeah. Preserved ones. [ He picks up various items, staring at the labels. English is still somewhat difficult to read. ]

Pasta. [ Nodding he tucks it under his arm and picks up a can. ] Beef... somethin'. Any luck?

[meilihua]

I found some flour and salt and rice...

[shortestfuse]

Oh those are good. [ He nods approvingly, shoving stuff into an abandoned plastic bag. ]

Ah, sweets. [ He points to the candy isle proudly. ] Maybe a couple...

[meilihua]

Haha yeah, got to keep everyone's spirits up, right?

[shortestfuse]

[ A chuckle. ] With candy? Yeah. Think that'd be the kinda food to do it.
