[This really wasn't supposed to turn out like this.]
[Ruu's heart sunk when she saw how panicked her big sister was, still barely dressed. Just like before the Outbreak it seemed Ruu would always be worrying her elder sister; it felt worse now though, given how much more dangerous the world was. She was in her head more of a mother than their actual birth mother had been, so it especially hurt to see her so distraught.]
[What a kick it would have been, she mused, for so many to see the former Commander of Namekawa so distraught, especially her former friends.]
[She opened her moth, closing it when nothing came out.]
...
[The look on her face was a clearly guilty one, however. She showed her sister her spoils; the rabbits, the batteries, and the crackers in hope that showing she had found useful things would in turn would help lessen her disappointment. But still she did not let her sister (or any of her friends, as Miki had noted) actually look into her backpack for more.]
[She waited for her sister's response, mouth opening once more, eyes widening upon hearing something.]
Hey. Nobody ever teach you it was rude to trespass before all this?
[She looked over to the intruding voice, that of an adult man, not particularly happy at the sight.]
Maybe this is my shelter. Maybe that's my rabbits and food you got.
[Ruu narrowed her eyes at that. This place was goddamn filthy; it was clearly abandoned and nobody was clearly living here and the rabbits were wild. Ruu was used to this trick (having done it herself), pretending you lived somewhere when you didn't to try to claim someone was stealing from you. Her hands went back to her signature makeshift spear, keeping him in her sights.]
Whoah, whoah, now... come on, not here looking for violence. [the man said, now putting on a fake grin.] Just saying... there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding. That little girl there clearly has my supplies, and I'd like them back...
[Ruu looked up at Yuuri, shaking her head, trying to signal to not buy it.]
