Simon was sitting on his bed with a black book, stroking the back of his owl slowly who sat on his lap and he looked over hearing Naoki. He found himself staring. The boy had muscle tone for someone so young, but it wasn't really noticeable when Naoki had a shirt on. He paused before answering after he had to gaze back down at his book as he stood up after his owl moved off his lap. "Follow me."
He led the neko past another arch way into a chamber-like area where the roof had collapsed, letting the rising sun shine its light through the opening. The floor was clear of debris, and a clothes line went from one wooden pole to the next that were buried in the rock.
