# how refreshing..."

➤ *The sun was beaming into the littoral cave she had taken shelter inside of. It wasn't the wisest thing she'd ever done, but it's even less wise to be out of the open. But, at the same time, she didn't really care. V had gotten her rest and that's all that mattered, though it was quite the sight, the view of the sea being rather beautiful.*

"𝐖ouldn't you agree, rat?" *She turned to her side, noticing the rat devouring some krill to her side.* "𝐎r were you feasssting on all of our... Rations..." 

➤ *V's jaw went agape at the sight of just how much the rat had eaten in that night alone. That was enough to snack on for a solid three days, all gone in one night. While grasping the reality of the situation, her expression darkened.*

"𝐖ell, you can always get more!" *The rat took note of her expression and chuckled nervously.* "𝐈t can't be that hard to just fish-"

"𝐇ow about instead, I slit your stomach open and get it all back?"*She made her voice as intimidating as possible as she spoke, but her tone switched nigh instantly while she shrugged.* "𝐈t isss what it isss."

➤ *With nothing else to do, she stretched and left the damp cave, getting a whiff of that fresh beach air. She climbed on top of the cave's entrance and sat on the edge, thinking about today's plan.*

"𝐁usssiness is ssslow as usual... I think I have enough money for some food. Maybe I could wait for a merchant ship to show up and try to barter for today's food... Make my way to the port and ssset off, find better placesss to do work."

➤ *She weighed her options carefully while she leaned back.*

Lady bitter, as helpful as she usually was, had been buying and carrying material from the city and back to the ship for days! What a helpful young woman, really. Even with her bizarre fashion, she always carried one or two balls of silver wire or candles in her black miniature purse. Her long, delicate painted nails holding up large bags of resources like soaps, sheets, food, water, salts, sugars... The list went on and on. Still, this nice, perfect day, Lady Bitter was in quite of an awful mood. The sun was far too strong for her liking and was almost ironing her skin and her pitch black clothing together. Lady was never a fan of nice weather or the sun. It made her feel stuffy and hot, however it wasn't humid, so kudos to that. 

However, her chances of a lovely trip to the market back to the ship was to be ruined by the beaches. As dirt below her faded into a light, peach-colored sand, she gulped nervously. With every step, her obnoxiously large heels digging futher into the sand made her even more uneasy. She could've easily just thrown off the shoes and walked barefoot in the sand- but her pride was larger than that by all means! If her feet and legs cannot conquer simple sand, how could she be triumphant?

This attempt would end terribly as Lady took one more step, miserably trampling over her long, silky cardigan. As her chest and stomach punched straight into the sand. The resources contained in the bag she held under her arms would soon roll out and into the sand ...

As it was a sunny day with little to no clouds, Kaito was already running on the sandy beach right by the water of the sea, wearing only a hakama that he had shortened to knee length. The swordsman had already been running circles around the beach from early morning, but he seemed to show minimum signs of fatigue as he continued running. However, as he ran - the sight of a almost all black figure caught his eye and as he got closer, he instantly recognized the clothing and started running faster toward the fallen over Lady.

**"LADY!"**

Kaito finally reached her and crouched down right beside, he examined her body to see if she had any injuries, but only noticing the bags with the spilled out resources beside her. He quickly turned her over, sliding his arm behind her shoulders and observing her face - only seeing a face full of sand, but he still thought she was somehow injured and so, he just placed her over his shoulder and started running back to where he came from.

**"DON'T WORRY, LADY! I'LL FIND SOME HELP!"**

# would they try to ssstop me?"

➤ *V'ridis had observed the entire scene. From the notably __embarrassing__ tumble the woman took, to the rather muscular man who had come to pick her up. She of course, observed it from the shadows of that cave. It was a bit difficult to contain her laughter—but she managed. Though, she noticed that the girl who had fell dropped some groceries-* ***Food***. Food was one of the first things she noticed. Much like a vulture, she went in to grab whatever was left behind. Not by running out of the shadows, no.*

"𝐓hisss should work..."

➤ *A portal opened up on V's hand, a chain shooting out much quicker than usual. Hoping for it to make as little noise as possible, she had to make a split second decision. She could try to have it wrap around more food and risk making more noise, or stab into it and take less. But, at times like this, where you don't know what others are capable of, you can settle for less. So with that, the chain stabbed into a bag, hoping to take some sort of fruit out–* 



➤ *And a loud tear was heard as V pulled a single apple out. She retracted the chain as fast as she could, and took a bite, nearly oblivious to the noise she had just made. All she could do is hope that they'd think it just got... Snagged on a rock. That wouldn't be impossible. Could make perfect sense. And maybe the waves could cover the noise up.*
