SSWM: 344.

The man turned and Pripyat was relieved to see a smile upon the stranger’s face. In reality all of his chance encounters but one had been pleasant, but the one that hadn’t been left its mark on the boy. That one encounter had made him realize that others could be hostile, aggressive, nasty… and all for no reason. Who could blame the lad for being a little weary of those he didn’t already know? Yet this man was friendly enough and without the awkward getting to know you questions began to talk right away. He inspected the ring Pripyat had kicked across the ground and complimented it, to which Pripyat only shrugged. It was a useless ring of metal with a silly shiny rock atop it. Who would want something like that?

The man introduced himself and spoke words Pripyat had never heard before, but the context was easy enough to understand. "Ah, I’m Pripyat Soul. From Phoenix Valley." As if where he had come from mattered Pripyat couldn’t help but include that in his introduction. Many that he meant seemed to know of the Valley pack and at times it was helpful if they knew a bit about the boy. Yet J’adore didn’t seemed concerned with anything but searching for junk which he piled high on the trolley, and Pripyat shrugged when he asked about the ring. “You can have it, I don’t need it.” If he found anything he wanted that would be lucky, for although he came home with trinkets often they weren’t always useful and very rarely made him happy past the initial discovery.

Pripyat shuffled closer to the man and his pile of treasures, his eyes scanning it and wondering what the man could possibly want with all this stuff? Questioningly he turned to the man, asking a question different than the one he really wanted answered but feeling that if he knew what he was looking for perhaps he could guess at what the man was doing with all the stuff. “What exactly are you still looking for?”
