He smiled back to Emma, and nodded to her at the question as she crouched in front of him.  Arik licked his dry lips, and he reached out to her to touch the back of his somewhat cold hand against her cheek.  He slid his fingers out and cupped her cheek with his much warmer palm, and caressed the skin at hand.  They hadn't been together for very long, but they had been friends before getting together, perhaps a week and a half ago.  It was difficult to get to know one another when one was as untalkative as the redhead was.<br/><br/>He blinked as Miranda's movements caught his eyes, and he glanced away from Emma to see what was happening as she opened the doors.  She did have a point about the place being wired if she'd found a light switch, but there was the slight issue of the simple fact about a generator powering the place.  If there was a generator, then it probably would run on gas.  And if that was the fuel, then it'd have a finite supply of power to provide, meaning that he could guess that if there was any, then there was no telling just how much until they checked.  Arik looked back to Emma, quite aware at the moment that the others were being just as quiet as he typically was...<br/><br/>And then there was a sound that came from the basement, and he smiled a little.  He remembered the sound of heaters starting up quite well, and he nodded to Emma once more as he stood up, walking down the hall to other doors that Miranda hadn't looked through yet to try and find anything else- phones, beds, fireplace, anything.  Not to mention a kitchen or freezer stocked with some food, it was unlikely that anyone that was in the group had brought a cooler full of food to help get through a few days alone in this place.
