The early summer weather had continued sunny and humid, leaving her yearning for a cool sanctuary to spend the day’s apex. In times like these, when the sun shone unbearably bright on her dichotomous bed of curls, Lilin often sought refuge at the lake or in the city, as was the case today. A very small part of Amherst belonged to Vinatta; much too small of a division to keep the Soulstorm heir confined to the lands she called home. Beyond claimed borders laid the unknown, a world to discover and secrets to unveil. Saul had expressed his desire to accompany her on today’s excursion earlier that morning and they had arranged to meet each other when the sun was at its meridian. It worried her none when her beau had failed to arrive when she did; he would have the easiest time tracking her down if she remained within close proximity- and she did.

Lilin had relocated further east of their rendezvous point and begun her scavenging session prematurely, starting with the warehouses once upon a time used for storage purposes. The commercial area of the neighbourhood held a certain appeal for her. Perhaps because it was so different from the residential districts she’d seen; the tools and machinery found in most buildings explored thus far were both eerie and fascinating. A seemingly endless row of storage units stretched out before her- a uniquely designed, never seen before structure. There were well over thirty doors in sight, each withholding a treasure from the outside world. Some doors were still sealed and others lacked a padlock altogether. She would need Saul’s help with well-preserved ones; they had brought many a tools from Hilsburn with them to New Brunswick. Perhaps one of them would be useful enough to break open the security devices.

After a considerable amount of pulling and tugging, Lilin abandoned sliding door number one when she finally understood that it wouldn’t budge. The second one was already open, revealing various sized crates and other containers within. This unit had been already searched but would have to do until Saul caught up with her, and so in she went; wasting little time before rummaging through the first packing box's content.
