.:Catching Out:. [ Mao | Himchan ]
Himchan chuckles when tugged along, limping after the girl. Perhaps it was good that she seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, especially with the sun going down. And itâs slow going, once the sky is dark. With power so sketchy, there were never any streetlights on anymore. But, Mao seems to know where sheâs going, so he follows closely.
Blinking when they stop, he stares at the building. It was so different from his own library - claimed by more moss and plants, and not falling entirely to pieces. It takes him a moment to respond o being led inside, but heâs still looking around curiously, stepping as carefully as he can to avoid making noise. ââŠif you donât mind my staying the nightâŠthen, yesâŠâ
Mao chuckled and shook her head. "No, no, I meant stay at the entrance while I go get what I came for." She smiled brightly at him, patting his arm gently. "But, there are plenty of rooms at the brothel, so you are more than welcome to stay!" Grinning again, she turned her back to him. "I'll be back, okay?"Â She jetted off across the rotted and creaky floors, her shoes sometimes squishing the moss on the ground, causing her to shudder. A collapsed bookcase stood in her way to the entrance to the second floor, so with careful steps she scaled it, yelping slightly as a shelf gives out under her foot. She managed to catch herself and scurry onto the stairs.
