With his nod, she was off and walking down the pavement along the cracked and uneven kerb, eyes fluttering between car shells and the ubiquitous, uniform houses, completely ignorant as to where to start. Where did humans keep their things of steel and sharp? "I am in need of blades... or tools... that can best serve the use of skill above strength," she explained to the wolf, but she wasn't going to take advantage of him. If they were to be companions, co-operation was in order. "But how rude of me, I have not asked what specifically you are seeking. We must help each other here - we can cover twice the ground and be home before sunset, if we can gain a clear idea of what the other needs." She didn't look around as she spoke, thus risking the slightly ridiculous circumstance of herself walking further and further away from him until her words weren't even audible, but Caspa didn't care what he thought about her, and he could easily be following. Most of the human stuff here was just rubbish, broken items of mystery that didn't look they'd be any use to anybody ever again. She pushed a fallen mailbox with her toe as she passed it, and the little door banged on its hinges. It would have been near impossible for her to understand what it would have been for, but to her it resembled a tiny trap, and it doubled the tingling in her spine that came over her when at her most wary.
