 and there was not even the slightest breeze.
 Andrew let a moment pass for his eyes to adjust to the change in light conditions,
 then motioned to Katt with a nod that she should keep going.
+She motioned to the left,
+but went in the opposite direction out of the same movement.
+Two steps away from the door an unorganized row of old metal canisters,
+rusty and big enough to hold at least twenty liters each.
+They were similar to the containers that held the \textit{firewater}
+that Katt used to protect the safe place.
+
+She took two of the containers that were apparently empty and Andrew followed her and did the same.
+Katt doubtfully furrowed her brow.
+
+``Are you sure?'', she asked.
+
+``What?''
+
+``The canisters get pretty heavy when they're full''
+, answered Katt.
+
+``Doy you think you've recovered enough to be able to do that?''
+
+``I guess we'll see'', Andrew answered.
+Even though he knew that Katt only meant well,
+they bothered him again.
+Mostly because she was probably right.
+He felt everything but refreshed and as a matter of fact he already felt the weight of the two \textit{empty} canisters.
+But of course he was too proud to accept Katt's almost unnoticeable offer and only to only entertain himself with one canister.
+Instead he added in an obviously spiteful tone:
+``Bull said I need to work if I want to eat.''
+
+``He didn't say that you have to overexert yourself'', answered Katt,
+but left it at a shrug and turned around.
+Andrew was finally smart enough not to continue the senseless discussion,
+but to shut up instead.
+
+In the bright daylight the ruined city made a maybe not friendly,
+but at least less creepy impression.
+The ruins were the same as they were before,
+immense black skeletons that looked like they had never housed anyone.
+The left side of the plaza was blocked by piles of rubble that nobody had seemed to put in the effort to move,
+and even though Katt had said there were at least one hundred members in the tribe,
+most of the buildings seemed to be empty.
+Only a hand full of the doors had the grey rags that Katt and her sister used as curtains.
+Almost nobody from the tribe was currently able to be seen,
+which Andrew wasn't too sad about.
+On the other side of the large plaza some kids were playing,
+but Andrew went without looking at them closely.
