Evie had become completely embroiled in petting Hero, a warm, beaming grin on her face as she giggled at the dog's excitability. Not noticing Dex moving off inside, she continued to coo at the dog, scratching his chin, ruffling his head, rubbing behind his ears.
"Who's a good boy?" she fawned. However, the pattering of intermittent rain on the back of her neck soon caused her to change her tone. At first, a couple of droplets. Then, the heavens opened. With quite a shrill squeak of surprise, she darted into the cover of the sci-port, pushing her now-dampened fringe to the side. One moment later and the room had fallen to silence. They'd had one near miss already, now they were back in danger again.
Scavenging old buildings was always the most dangerous part of the apocalypse - it was also the most necessary. The dangers didn't end with lurking infected, there was always a chance of tripping an old security system, cutting yourself on shattered glass and jagged objects; the concept of health and safety no longer applied.
"Weapons up," Dex ordered, an air of hesitation about him. Evie frowned lightly. Was he hesitant about the dangers ahead or, what he saw as, the potential dangers around him. She'd have to take him at his word that he was sincere in his order, so, unslinging her bow from her back, she rested an arrow on the string just in case she had to fire in an emergency. "And keep an eye out for any keys that could belong to that truck outside. It's not opened, so it's likely still full of food," Dex added.
"Maybe we should look for offices of some kind. Y'know, shipping and manifesting and the like," Evie offered, her tone low and hushed. Not waiting for a response to her suggestion, she followed in close behind Dex. She got two feelings from the man: firstly that he'd probably feel a lot more comfortable knowing where she was and what she was doing, secondly that he was probably dependable and the safest to stick with out of the group.
Moving into the next room, the signs on the wall indicated the direction of the kitchen. She hadn't been privy to the earlier discussion that that was their destination, but the delicate rumbling and gurgling of her stomach was indicative enough that that's where she wanted to be. Tapping Dex lightly on the shoulder, she gestured to the sign which pointed further down the corridor, right to the end.
