(326) <3 Miyu. Dated... today? Moonstone Lakes - Afternoon - Optime.
The last few weeks had been a whirlwind of activity; none of which had been enjoyable. With her landlord's unexpected departure came a series of unfortunate events. Having to move all of her belongings out of the Hilsburn guest house was the biggest task at hand. Not that she owned much; the quantity of items wasn't the problematic issue. The memories attached to the the few belongings she did own were, on the other hand, quite haunting in a way. Pessimism normally wasn't her cup of tea but given the recent circumstances, Lilin couldn't help but wonder if she'd ever see Barrett again.
Saul had scouted out the shoreline beforehand and taken the initiative to build a quaint little hut amongst some of the smallest lakes. Remnants of long dead rural communities were evident surrounding the biggest bodies of water, especially in vast clearings. None of the structures were safe enough to live in though, according to her cousin. Some of them stood in a somewhat crooked stance, repelling anyone from seeking shelter within. On the other hand, some of the safest-looking ones constituted the core of her scavenging efforts on this ironically sunny afternoon.
She needed some time to think, away from the general anxiety surrounding the Hilsburn property. There was no reason why she could not spend this precious time doing something productive - perhaps she'd come across trinkets or tools of interest. With all the labouring Saul had been preoccupied with as of late, it wouldn't have surprised her if he actually needed extra instruments. He wasn't the kind of man to send others on errands for him but she had a good knowledge of what could be useful to him after watching Barry work and tend to his property.
Halting before the first standing shack out of three, the two-toned loner took the liberty of peeking through the broken glass that had, at one point in time, fully covered the front window.
