"Maybe it'll be fun," America offered once they finally got the tub moved. This time her face was flushed from exertion. Shaking out her arms, the girl went on, "Worth visiting, either way. And if things get squiffy, I got a protect-y thing to help me hide." Moving to grab one of the last few smaller boxes and pieces of furniture, she shook out her arms again. Maybe having the equivalent of four arms made it easy to get twice as tired.

Gingerly, Shun rolled his shoulders, then went to move some of the smaller bits on out as well. This was tiring work. "You have a what?"

Pulling brooch out of her shirt. she held it up, dangling darkly on its chain. "A fellow named Gloom taught me how to make it. It'll hide me in shadows n such when I'm in a pinch. Works best over There, but here too, though not as well."

"Gloom... yes, I have met this one. He seems to be one of the few friendly ones, though I have not really dealt much with him yet," Shun tilted his head, looking at the brooch she carried. "Though I would still be careful with that. Helpful or not, unforeseen consequences could arise from it."It was still a fairly big unknown to deal with, after all.

"He's been a good friend to me," America stated, fully confidant in her shadowy teacher. Walking back into the storage unit, she gripped the brooch, focusing on hiding. To Shun's eyes, she wouldn't disappear into a pocket of shadows, not fully, not in the regular world. But she did suddenly become harder to pick out from the dim interior of the unit. For America the world turned a bit strange even if she could still see just fine. There was, as always, a sense of comfort and safety that came with using the brooch. And then she focused on pushing the shadows away, and suddenly she stood out again, both vibrant and mundane. "See? Neat, right?" America was practically preening.

Shun watched America curiously as she became somewhat obscured to his vision. "Interesting," he commented, tilting his head to the side, "But that does seem rather useful, should you wish to lay low for a time."He grabbed another box, then made his way back to the warehouse to set another thing aside. "It would be nice if there were more helpful entities on that side."

"If you ever wanna make one, I can show you how," America offered, replacing the brooch. "Works even better over on the other side." Grinning as she moved to grab a lamp, the girl adds, "You gotta use honey to catch flies, detective. Not vinegar, you know."

"I think I may have to take you up on that offer, if you think it is something I would be able to create."Shun then let out a low grunt. "Does that even still apply on the other side?"

With a snort and quiet, Manners always count, America explained what he'd need. "Bring something you can wear around with you. Something hard like a stone or what have you. And it's gotta be special. Special and with meaning to you is best. When we go over, you're gonna have to collect some magic dust, and that's gotta have a sort of meaning to it too. The sort that means protection or shelter or hiding or safety. That's the feeling you're gonna have to use when you make it too, so be thinking on it before we go, you got me?"

Shun made a mental note of all of this. Honestly, it felt like a bunch of mumbo jumbo. But that was the sort of s**t that the other side was all about. It was going to take him some time to think about some of those things, but one part caught his attention. "Magic dust? Really?"

"Yeah, it's what," America tried to consider how to describe it. "It binds the glyph to the thing, the meaning of it, along with your magic."

Shun furrowed his brow. It didn't make that much sense, but he supposed he'd figure it out when the time came. Or maybe not. Magic wasn't the most sensible thing. "I see. Well... you will have to show me when a chance arises, in that case."Rolling his shoulders, he looked back into the truck, seeing if they had missed anything.

"Just give me a call whenever you need me, hun." Dusting off her hands, America pocked up the little storage unit and beamed at Shun. "Thanks for giving me a hand and getting me up to speed. Can I get you a beer or something, make it up to ya?"

Shun waved dismissively, "No beer, please. Either we can call it a favor, or you can get me some tea, sometime."

"Let's call it both," America shot him a wink and a fingergun to seal the deal.
