I thought I told you to leave me alone.

Hey, you. [Schneider calls out, feeling exasperated. Seriously, what is this mess. She's used to the hunger but the cold is something else she's trying harder to ignore.]

[strawsandals]

[ The man looks towards Schneider. ]

Oh, me?

[ He points at himself. ]

Do you need something?

[unweathered]

Where are we?

[ She's studying his face very carefully]

[strawsandals]

This is Touka Village... one of the villages in the Fire Tribe.

[ There is no indication that he's lying. ]

I come here sometimes to try to help people in need.

[unweathered]

[ Unfamiliar names...hm]

You look like you need the help instead.

[strawsandals]

A-ah, no, not me! I'm...

[ ... ]

Have you seen someone named Yoon around?

[unweathered]

...funny you say that. I'm looking for Yoon too. Where could I find him?

[ hmmmmm ]

[strawsandals]

[ He points towards that hut, though. ]

He usually stays in that home. Maybe we'll find him there?

[unweathered]

... then follow me old man.

[ She's confused but she'll head towards the hut ]

If you knew that how come you didn't go yourself?

[strawsandals]

Ah, I'm a little tired. If he was elsewhere, I would have gone there instead.

[ He laughs sheepishly. Sorry, he's pathetic. ]

[unweathered]

How do you know Yoon?

[ She's a good mafia lady. Respect your elders and all. She'll take him to the hut by grabbing his arm gently]

[strawsandals]

Haha, well, he tried to steal from me, too, once! [ He doesn't seem bothered at all. ] I had a small injury from the encounter, but we talked. He took me to his home and applied medicine on my head when he thought I was asleep.

He's a kind boy.

[unweathered]

...he is. Has he been looking after you all this time then?

[ So that's what Yoon meant]

[strawsandals]

He did, up until I went to try to find him some things he wanted to read.

[ So yes. Yes, he has. ]

[unweathered]

...Mm. What did he want to read?

[Please]
