"Over 100 arc old. Only 20 arc younger than Desnind." The man said looking at the young man, he was sure Arlo was impressed by the age. He was so young and something that had been their since either of the men were born was impressive. More so was the fact that some of the buildings were still standing even after the trees had over grown and taken back the location. Nature did not appreciate when people tried to force themselves into a place, and that was one of the main reasons the village had failed. The forest could be a stubborn mistress.
In searching the rest of the building for windows Arlo would find himself at an old empty window frame. It appeared safe to enter and you could easily look through it into the rest of the old crumbling building. The old man had not even considered another entrance. He read many, many, books but none had ever taught him about exploring and archaeology. So he watched a little confused as the boy walked off and around the corner to the side wall of the building. Maybe it was just his young mind, Bo was old after all. His thought processes ran a lot slower than Arlo's, so new and inventive ideas did not occur as quickly. Bo missed his young mind, the boy reminded him of himself long ago.
Arlo, where go you? You find something?" The man was unsure if he should follow. But after a few bits he decided to go and check on the young man. He doubted it but part of him worried Arlo had already gone into the building and taken whatever was hidden there for himself. Bo'kuna came around the corner using his staff as he had before to walk fast. Happily he found the man still there by the window. He moved up and stuck his head through the opening for a look around, it was dark but as far as old Bo could tell it was safe enough. He turned to face Arlo his face already showing what he was going to ask and tell the younger man.
He smiled as he patted Arlo on the arm. "It safe, you go I wait here, me too old climb through window. You find you keep, me just want see." He gestured for the younger to go through the window, his statement showing he was not just exploiting the boy to steal it from him when he came back out. Now if Arlo were to enter he would immediately find his foot dropping through the floor board and revealing a small, but unlocked, wooden lock box. Inside the box was a folded piece of parchment, with a map drawn onto it, a rusty old dagger and a few silver and copper Nel.
