It was the first time the city had been framed to her as a place of resource or anything useful, more than just a teetering cluster of walls and roofs that seemed to lean in towards one. Perpendicular was the word, but it gave her more chills than such a simple expression might have been expected to. "I couldn't go to the city," the girl said with a shiver. "It's too... eerie. Like I might get trapped inside. I think I'd be warmer with something to wear, but I suppose I'll just have to stay by the fires on days like this." Maybe one day she'd bump into someone on their way there, and sweet-talk them into digging up something for her.
