Summary: two keyblade wielders taking up a job in Shaarnath that lands them in some hot water with fiends, awkward conversations, and discoveries.

[ Riku unzips the tent that they set up earlier and pokes his head out, goggles covering his eyes as he does so. Judging from the sandstorm (eyy) that came out of nowhere so quickly, they're about a few hours behind schedule than what they had originally planned but with the storm having passed now, they can finally make their way out to the West as instructed. ]

Doesn't look too bad out there now.

[ He says that as he comes back inside the tent and begins to gather up his items, stuffing them into his bag. The gear they have is what anyone would need for a few days worth out in the desert and their attire goes along with it, Riku glad to have the goggles so as not to get sand in his eyes and be blinded before they can even get to where they need to be.

Shrugging the strap of his back over his shoulder, he looks over to Roxas, holding out the canteen for him then should he want a drink; gotta stay hydrated out here after all. ]

We lost a couple hours but it should be easy enough to get them back.

[ The shade would be nice, he can't deny that and so, he continues on with Roxas after a mutual glance is exchanged between them.

As they approach the building, Riku ensures to remain on his guard considering they know nothing of this place and any sort of possible threats that might be looming nearby. While he doesn't manifest his Keyblade at the moment, it's a thought kept in the back of his head as he approaches the door and pushes it open. ]

Guess no one's home if it's not locked...

[Roxas's guard is up and he's looking around constantly, just in case. It reminds him of Agrabah, this desert, and things can always come up out of the sand if you're not careful.]

Looks abandoned. I'm not sure why anyone would want to live out here.

Not like there's much out here.

[ He says that as he steps his way inside, still mindful of their surroundings as they go. ]

Then again, maybe that was the point.

[ Even as he says that, he heads over to a couple barrels lined up, some tipped over, curious with what they might have once contained. ]

[Roxas wanders over to examine a table or desk. There's a lot of dust.]

You think they might have been doing something shady?

[Or illegal? Or just plain bad?]

Well, you're the one who's been here the longest out of the rest of us, right?

[ Throwing it back to the blond that if anyone might have a better idea about that, it would be hime what with everything that he's gone through here. ]

I guess...but I kinda stayed out of stuff like that.

Looks like they were doing something though, based on all these books.

[Roxas tended to keep to himself, unless it had to do with wyverns.]

[ He can't blame him for doing so to be honest. ]

Looks like it.

[ He confirms that, allowing the tips of his fingers to brush over a couple of them. ]

Maybe something to do with the Arehtei?

It's possible. Do you think we should take them back with us?

[He goes to leaf through one of them, but coughs a bit because of the dust. It takes a moment before he actually starts doing so.]

It looks like they're in okay condition.

Well, don't see anyone's name on it, so.

[ It's theirs for the taking? Besides, doesn't really look like anyone's going to be missing these around here. ]

Maybe not all of them. We don't want them to end up weighing us down.

[ And this is not why they came here. ]

One or two should probably do, and we can let them know where to find the rest?

[He takes a moment to skim through them before making a decision on which ones to take.]

Is there anything else?

That should be it.

[ Since there doesn't seem to be much else around here for them to take back with them. ]

Good thing this place wasn't boobytrapped.

Yeah, that would have sucked.

[And something they probably should have checked for in the first place.]

I guess we're heading back now, huh?
