Masaru let out a sigh as he heard the report. Well, that was really a bit of a shame; at the very least, someplace that looked as it was stable enough and easy to clear out would've been fine. But... Nothing? Really?

"Ah... Damn, that's a bit of a shame, then. But hey, complaining about it's gonna get us nowhere; let's start moving now, then, I guess. As long as we remember our way back, there shouldn't be any issues, right? I mean, we got fish here, after all," he said, shrugging as he began to move further inland. Though... Right, this was still gonna end up a port or something if the chance came up. Making it close enough to the beach to make it easily accessible, while also making it deep enough inland to sustain crops and avoid any possible floods or whatever...

It was honestly more difficult than he'd thought it would have been. The job would've probably been simpler had the ship not been wrecked like it was now, but...

Well, it was still too early to complain. For now, the priority was going deeper in.
...
And maybe a source of fresh water. That'd be nice. Real nice.

The trees along the coast of the beach had long since left them, and now all Masaru could make out were deciduous trees left and right. At least, that's what they seemed to be; they certainly weren't the palm trees that had dotted the very outskirts of the border between the sand and the soil. But hey, if anything, the change was nice enough. Even if the trees were actually rather unfamiliar, at least they seemed to be slightly less prone to falling over. Even if he hadn't a clue on how to build a house... Wood was a good place to start, right?

"Ah... This place fine for now? My arms are starting to get a bit tired from carrying all this stuff around, y'know?" he asked whoever had decided to follow, placing the goods down near the trunk of a tree.
