Ookey Spooky Creepy Crawly

Nausicaa grinned excitedly when he said that he still had a few things with him and her tail thumped softly against the sand while she waited for him to pull his bag over to lay it between them. Even while he rummaged through it she could tell that he had quite the collection going already just from the sound of all the stuff clanking against one another. She had peeked in it earlier to get the metal to start their fire, but it had been dark and she had only poked around enough to find what she needed so it was all still a mystery to her. She blinked and tipped her head to the side when he produced the long, floppy, black thing with a weird looking disc on the end. She lifted and flipped it over with her paw as she curiously examined both sides of it and sniffed at the pieces of rubber and metal. She glanced up at him again as she listened to the description of the images he had seen and looked at the thing in front of her with another curious glance.

"A badge, huh?" she questioned mostly to herself, not really expecting an answer as she looked it over again. She poked at the tube part of the artifact before slipping her nose through the part that was like a partially open metal triangle with rubber bits at the open parts. It was just closed enough for it to rest on the bridge of her nose when she lifted her head and had it dangling off of her muzzle when she looked at him again. She realized how silly she must look, but she ran with it and gave him an amused grin. "Do I look like I have authority now?" she asked before giggling and letting the artifact slip off of her nose and back onto the sand. She was really curious about what other treasures he had found, but at the same time their fire was beginning to die down and they wouldn't be able to keep it going without finding more firewood. Besides that, she was starting to feel the tiredness from her exercising and exploring she had done today.

A yawn snuck up on her as if her own body was trying to remind her of this as well and she gave him a slightly sheepish grin. "Maybe we should turn in for the night," she offered as she shifted to her paws and got up, giving herself a quick shake to get the sand out of her fur. She scooped a few pawfulls of sand onto the already dying embers and their campfire was easily extinguished, leaving them with just star and moon light to see by. She waited till he had gathered up his things and was ready to head to their den for the night and she led the way. It was a fairly large den that had clearly been used by other wolves in the past, but there was not even a stale scent to go of off any more so it was clearly unoccupied for the moment. She slipped inside and settled down on one side with a content sigh, offering Milo a smile. There wasn't much bedding or anything to speak of, just some remnants of dried grasses from the previous tenants, but for a temporary shelter it certainly would do just fine.

"Thanks for keeping me company tonight," she mentioned as she rested her head on her paws. "I don't think I'd sleep very well by myself after seeing how dark and creepy those ruins were at night."
