[Dave looks up briefly, then goes back to his important task of poking at the dead leaves.]

Hey.

[He's not actually poking them, exactly; he's stretching them as carefully as he can against the barren ground without breaking them, examining the dried-out petioles and stipules as if they're rare fossils, intricate skeletons.

He already knows they're not for eating. He's a fragile skeleton himself, in his faded red hoodie.]

'Sup?

[notabadegg]

Uhh... the sky.

[Haruka scratches her head and carefully approaches.]

I kinda ran out of food. I'm sorry. I bet you're hungry too.

[knightoftimeout]

Mm. Not really.

[He looks at her again, more studiously this time, and finally gets up, brushes his grubby hands off against his grubby jeans.]

You want a snack? I got stuff.

[notabadegg]

[stomach growls] Really? I just got dead leaves...

[knightoftimeout]

We gotta be careful not to eat too much at once so's there's more later, but yeah. [He nods and shrugs.] My bro piled it up for us. I'm waiting for him to come back.

[...From the state of his clothes, he may have been waiting a long time.]

[notabadegg]

'Kay. [She smiles and offers a hand.] I'm Haruka. Do you know where he went? Like fighting bears?

[knightoftimeout]

Prob'ly.

[Dave looks at the hand she offers, takes her wrist to move it up, then gives her a nice high five.]

I'm Dave. This way. [He starts to lead her back up-slope, though on a diagonal to the way she'd come.] You live around here, Har...Harka?

[notabadegg]

[Haruka blinks but smiles wider. She follows him.]

I used to. Had to run away. [She shakes her head.] But, but! I bet we can find something good. Where're we goin'?
