Sparrow grins. [color=7bcdc8]"There's nothing saying you actually need a shirt,"[/color] she says with a wink. Her eyes glint mischievously and she takes his hand, leading him through the trees. The clearing opens up before them, and broken boards litter the ground. [color=7bcdc8]"Like I said back at Sanctuary, most of the good stuff has been taken already, but I haven't looked inside the house yet. Maybe there are some old clothes there?"[/color] She casts a hopeful glance in Adam's direction before making her way towards the house. Gray paint peels on the outside, and not a single window was still intact. The wooden door was missing, and a screen door hangs on its hinges in the doorway. Sparrow lets go of Adam's hand to open it and step inside. 

The scent of death was like a wall, and it made Sparrow's nose wrinkle up in an extremely unpleasant way. She covers her nose and mouth with the edge of her cloak and furrows her brows. [color=7bcdc8]"Still want to look in here?"[/color] she asks, her voice muffled by the fabric of her cloak. The sound of many flies buzzed further in the house, but the staircase to her left seemed mostly intact. Instead of waiting for Adam's reply the bounds up the stairs. At the top was a hallway. And in the middle of that hallway was a body. Sparrow freezes, her eyes wide and her mouth falling open. 

The limbs had been pulled off but the body was still intact. It was also fresh. A few days old maybe, which meant that whoever did this was likely still close by, they would need to hurry. Shaking off the shock and covering her mouth with her cloak again Sparrow slips inside the nearest room. She walks to the dresser with quick purpose, pulling out the drawers in a calculated way, not wasting any time. Only a few items remained inside: a faded blue dress, some black slacks, a white shirt with multiple dark stains, some of which looked like blood and other which looked like coffee. Sparrow tosses the items on the dusty bed and pokes around the rest of the room. [color=7bcdc8]"No books,"[/color] she concludes with a frown. [color=7bcdc8]At least not in here. I'll check the living room before we go back out but I'd rather not stay up here any longer than I have to. That body is giving me the creeps. You're welcome to look around more if you'd like though."[/color]
