There was a lightness is Kid's steps as he took a stroll down the river, searching for the perfect spot to take his date the following night. Of course, it had to be perfect, because such a lady like Jewel deserved no less. Especially after that dinner the other night. Though he knew he should have started searching since Jewel agreed to the date Tuesday night, the couple of days following had Kid a bit preoccupied. There was that strange occurence on Wednesday that had his sister on his mind until the following day when he came upon Little Man. So he was a bit behind on making the plans for his outing tomorrow night with Jewel. The summer sun was beating down on him, and there seemed to be no breeze. Kid had been out searching since the late morning, noting a few locations here and there, but always keeping his eyes out for something better. But right now, he needed a rest.
He stopped beside the river, sitting down on the dirt and pulling off his boots and socks. He could use a little cooling off by the water. As he rolled up his jeans to his knees, Kid dipped his feet in the water and wished he had brought a cantine or some sort of drink container to drink from. He looked around at the area, hoping to find the spot he was searching for soon, when his eyes fell upon a riverboat a little down the way. It looked a bit old, but rather taken care of, so someone had to be living in it. Possibly another River Runner, since he was still in their territory. He had not met all of the tribe yet. He knew Lady, Tramp, and Jack, and he had a run-in with Kahea some time before, and then of course there was Jewel. But he was sure he did not know the owner of this boat. 'Well what could be the harm in introducing myself?' he thought to himself as he rose to his feet, picking up the boots beside him and walking barefoot.
