[ Sato will receive (1) image of a cooler on his phone, following by a message- ]

Is this yours? I've asked, like, everybody.

[ She just kind of wants to wash her hands of the shame that came with emptying its contents. ]

I used to have one very much like that. Was there anything inside?

[Because there's a few different potential answers, and most of them are, shall we say, highly suspect.]

No.

It was empty when I found it.

[ She sticks with the lie she'd been planning on telling should she find the owner. It's suspicious, sure, but she can play it off as someone having found it before her. ]

[Suspicious indeed, if it wasn't full of black-market 'goods' to sell to his contact, it was usually when he put all the tools he needed to get them in good condition.]

Oh? Well, it's hard to say then, but if nobody else wants it, I'm sure I can find a use for it. :)

Where can I pick it up?

Yeah, it'd probably be useful.

[ She just can't stand to look at it. ]

I can meet you at the orchard, if that's alright?

Of course. I could stand to swing by that part of the city anyway. I'll see you in a little bit!

See ya' soon, dude!

[ She's at the orchard with the cooler as promised. In fact, Sato will likely hear Rose before he sees her, the woman's voice carrying through the orchard as she sings a upbeat song to the plants. She thinks it's good for them! Though she thinks music is good for just about everyone, but that's neither here nor there. ]

[Sato picks with way through the orchard. It seems fairly quet except for the song, so it's not long before he gets close enough to spot her between the rows of trees.]

Good afternoon!

[He calls out, coming closer. If it's not actually his cooler, it's the exact same color and brand, which is an awful lot of coincidence, of all the crazy things that could potentially get pulled into Hadriel.]

That certainly looks like it! Are you sure there wasn't anything in it?

[He asks cheerfully, interrupting the song.]

[ It's alright, she's actually used to being interrupted. Not a lot of people here seem to want to stop and listen to the music... ]

Hey, dude! [ A glance at the item in question before she glances back up at Sato. ] Nope, just the cooler! It was knocked over and open so something must've gotten to it before me...

[ That's plausible, right? Totally. She keeps her smile on, perfectly pleasant and (hopefully) convincing. ]

Was there something in it?

[Sato chuckles; it doesn't matter either way but...]

Nothing that can't be replaced.

Thank you for returning it, though! I'm sure it will come in handy for one thing or another. Come to think of it, this would be a good place for a picnic someday.

[You know, things normal people would do with a cooler.]

Well, that's good at least! I'd have hated for it to be something important.

[ Good. He didn't need them. ... Of course, she's curious as to why the contents of the cooler were there in the first place, but. Obviously, she can't ask. ]

Yeah? I think so too, actually! It's a nice, relaxing spot.
