The Wasteland

[XGalowenX]

Kyo laughed, "I know the work involved and I'm up for it, do you know where wild ones live?"  

[Kadaveret]

John grinned. "mostly around the forests. some can be found in the deserts too though"  

[XGalowenX]

Kyo was almost itching with anticipation, he didn't even know there were still wild horses. "So when can we start?"  

[Kadaveret]

John shrugged. "as soon as we find one. though we need some stuff for the horse. but it will be better to get that once we've caught one" John signaled to the man at the gate. the gate opened slowly.  

[XGalowenX]

Kyo couldn't help but smile, he was glad to finally have something really good to look forward to. He relaxed as they approached the gate, being near so many people always made him uneasy.

"Next town is west of here. theres a forest north-west of here. so we'l look while scavenge for material." John looked Kyo. "But...if you want to follow me around and so you got to help me gather these materials."  

[XGalowenX]

Kyo smiled, "You've done a lot for me already, I'll definitely try to pay you back.."  

[Kadaveret]

John chuckeled. "I guess you already know the basics of scavanging"  

[XGalowenX]

Kyo laughed, "You find something worth keeping and you do so..that's one reason why I'm still alive." he trudged through the sand and rock next to the horse.  

[Kadaveret]

john nodded. "exactly. and if we find valuable things we dont need, we sell tem."  

[XGalowenX]

Kyo nodded and looked ahead at the distance, "I figured as much, and with the stuff you find, you match them up with another's order and receive payment in return."  

[Kadaveret]

John nodded again. "Yeah. there is stuff we keep to ourself though. ammo, food and such"  

[XGalowenX]

Kyo grinned, "Necessities...in other words..." he couldn't help but feel the thrill of putting himself to use. Hanging out with John was kinda growing on him. He was learning so much.  

[Kadaveret]

"Yeah. thats pretty much all there is about it. the rest you'l learn while doing it." It would be good to have some company for once. and this kid learned pretty quickly

Kyo was still looking around ahead of him when he tripped over something. Whatever it was left a metallic thud ringing in the breeze. He got up, a skinned knee wasn't that big of a deal, but whatever tripped him pissed him off and he turned to see what it was. It seemed to be a metal plate of some kind, but it was mostly buried.
