Finding Things

Where: Campfire
When: Day 24, evening
What: Rook has a book...
Feeling better, Alex had gone back to work some more on his makeshift church, or well, doing more than having a cross that lay on the ground anyways, Alex had come across a men's toiletry kit from British Airways. There were razor blades, aftershave, soap, tiny scissors, everything a gentleman traveler might need on an airplane. It wasn't much use to him, he had worn a beard before coming to this place and he wore one still. It wasn't big and full, but that was alright. Setting it to one side, he had continued looking for a way to hang the cross us. He knew where he wanted it, there was a decent tree on this hill and he was going to hang it on the trunk, but he needed a way to attach it. So far...he hadn't found anything.
When the sun began to dip lower in the sky, Alex had given up his attempts at hanging the cross and once more left it on the ground before kneeling in prayer for a few minutes. Nothing would bother the two sticks of wood that were lashed together while he was gone for the night. Picking the little bag up he headed towards their camp, hoping there was food. Now that he seemed to be feeling better from being sick he was ravenously hungry. The warm day had helped.
At the campfire, Alex stood for a minute surveying everyone there, before spying a young blond man with a book. A book? That intrigued him and without really thinking about it, he went to sit down near him, "What's that?" he asked, unable to see the title clearly. It was a nice book though, bound in leather. He was surprised that Bazzer, the librarian and book fiend, hadn't already gotten to him about it, but he wasn't around at the moment. That was good, it gave Alex an opportunity to meet this man too, while he had seen him around, Alex couldn't remember ever sitting down and talking to him, which was something he needed to do. He tried to do it with everyone at some point or another, though that wasn't always possible.
