Lost Possessions (Albrecht)

His head perked after Arctic's yell reached his ears, he'd turn around to see the girl running after a dumpster, it seems the girl just found the object she was looking for. However, the Forgotten wondered how the hell did the bamboo shoot got there if it was so important. The knight too would start to run towards the man who unknowing carried the item Arctic looking for. Thanks to his physical conditioning he was able to not only pass the white haired girl, but he also managed to get between the man and the dumpster before the bamboo shoot was dumped. "Sorry to interrupt you but you have something we are looking for..." Albrecht wasn't quite sure why he put so much effort to stop the man, maybe it was his instinct kicking in again.

"Eh?" The worker would stop and look at Albrecht with a raised eyebrow and a look of 'are you insane?' He'd chuckle a low laugh before speaking. "Nothin' but trash here, all being thrown away." He'd say before giving it a moments thought and then shrugging. "But I guess if you really want some rubbish it's yours for the taking."

As he spoke, Arctic managed to catch up to the pair panting a little. "S-sorry, *huff*, could we just, take that bamboo shoot you're holding?" The girl would ask throw a few deep breaths to replenish her lungs. As the man said before, it was theirs if they wanted it, it was all just garbage to him anyway so he put up no fight when Arctic reached to pick it up out of his grip.

"That all?" He'd say with a snort before throwing the rest into the dumpster and heading back towards the store after receiving a nod from Arctic.

Giving it a quick glance over, it seemed the shoot was still in tact and not damaged in anyway. It was a good thing they got here when they did, it would of definitely broke if it was thrown into the trash even if she'd ever think to look there for it. "Thank you, Albrecht." Arctic would say with a smile and a nod. "I dunno why this thing is so important to my brother, but I'm sure he'll be very relieved to see its alright."

For a passing moment the Lion tensed up a bit and clenched his fist before he relaxed yet again,being laughed at angered Albrecht deep down, however he had to agree the scene would have looked pretty silly to an onlooker, he'd try to keep quiet and avoid thinking about it. After all, the situation was solved, no reason to dwell on something so small and inconsequential.

"Don't mention it, Arctic. I just wanted to help." He gave the girl a weak smile before his face returned to the stern expression from before. "Now that's taken care of, i believe we should part ways. I have duties to attend to, and i assume so do you." He'd offer his hand for a handshake before saying his goodbyes and leaving to his destination.

Arctic would smile back in return when she saw the stern mans face turn to one with a smile, even if only for a moment. "Hope we run into each other again sometime, and I'll be sure to ask my brother if he wanted to partake in that fight you asked for." The girl would nod respectfully before shaking Albrecht's hand back and turning to take a leave of her own. "Cyah around!"

With the bamboo shoot in hand, the girl would then proceed to walk home, happy that she'd found the thing her brother had been so desperately searching the house for when she left. Maybe he had settled down by now? I'm sure he'll be happy to see it regardless.
