“Sure, I spotted the perfect hideout. For now, at least.” Damien led the girl to a, well, still standing house to his surprise. He didn't know in what state they'd find the inner side of the building, but the outside surprisingly looked in a perfect state, and able to protect the both of them from anything that could happen in the near, near future.
The door? Locked. Darn it, knocking did practically nothing, because, no-one answered. So, Dan assumed no-one was there. Forgive me for what I am about to do now. And with that, Damien forcefully kicked the wooden door, a loud cracking noise signalling that something had broken. Good, the only thing Damien had to do now was gently pushing the door and it would open itself. “It's not like anyone would stop me from breaking into a house, right?” The boy gave a quick glare at Rin. “Right?” He tried to get approval of his earlier deed. Though it mattered little now.
Once both of them entered the building, Dan tried his best to block the door, though it seems he had broken the lock, not the door itself. That would require something heavy. Didn't want anyone else to just barge in and take this house for themselves, right? So, Damien pushed a small drawer that was standing in the hall, and used it to block off the broken door. “There. Problem solved.”
after inspecting the building on a few flaws, Damien returned to Rin for a full report about the state of their shelter. “No real problems. Perhaps it is a tad bit small, but it'll do for now. At least won't go hungry for the time being. The fridge is filled with loads of food!” Dan smiled faintly, glad to have accomplished at least something useful today.
“too bad the television won't work. Or maybe it does? I doubt it... If it did, we could've checked for any news on this disaster.” Yep, Dan felt at home al right. The boy sighed, satisfied with their new shelter. “Hey Rin. Isn't it odd that no-one has send someone to this place to check for survivors? Or at the very least, investigate the cause of the eruption?” Dan looked confusingly at the girl, perhaps she knew the answer, though he doubted it...
