"Yeah, guess so. I've slept in worse places. And better ones," she added. "Did you get some sleep?" she asked, her back and wings sore from where she had layed on the floor.

"Yeah," Setsuko replied. She glanced around the cabin. "Hey," She began, "I know this is totally off-topic, but what if we fixed it up a bit in here? It's deserted, no one comes. And we're both lost, right? This way, if another storm or something happens, we have a place to stay, and somewhere to get some rest! It could be like our makeshift house." She awaited Rue's answer.

"Sounds like a good idea to me. We're gonna need some place to stay."

"Alright then." Setsuko looked around the dusty, batted old cabin. I guess we can start by gathering up everything in here and find out what needs to go where. Then we can dust it off, maybe wash some items or blankets in the lake when it stops raining. Oh, and patch up the blankets, definitely." She paused to breath and check if Rue was following and agreed with all this.

"Woah, slow down. THat all sounds good though." Rue said, strugggling to catch up with Setsuko's rapid instructions. 'We should find some wood or something and maybe patch up some of the roof too," Rue added on.

"That's a good idea," Setsuko agreed. "But I suppose a lot of this will have to wait until it stops raining...oh look. The storm's almost passed." Sure enough, the raging storm was now reduced to no more than just a light drizzle.

"Good, it'll probably be over soon then," Rue said, gllancing through th e dirty window glass.

"Let's start gathering up what's in here, then," Setsuko concluded, tossing her blanket into the middle of the floor, and then Rue's. There wasn't much in the cabin, just a few more raggedy blankets and some old cups, plates and eating utensils. They where all dirty, but with some washing, they would be usable.

"Not much," Rue noted, looking at the small pile of things they had found. "We'll have to make do for a while."

"Hey, it's the basics." Setsuko shrugged. "Come on, let's dust off the blankets." She took two out of the five that had been there and went outside to clean it off.

Rue took the rest and followed Setsuko outside.

"You know, we don't have to do them all at once," Setsuko informed, noticing the three blankets Rue had brought out.

Rue shrugged. "Might as well, it'll get it out of the way," she said, a drop of rain hitting her on the head, soaking into her dark hair.

"I meant we could leave some inside, and then get them so that they don't have to sit in the mud while we work on other ones, but whatever." Setsuko was a bit annoyed, but she got over it as she began to shake some of the loose dust and bits of dirt off of a blanket.

Rue found a spot that was drier then most, and set the blankets down. "THey were dirty anyways," she said, shrugging as she took one and began to shake it vigourously, clouds of dust filling the surriounding air.
