Shifting the cart out of the way to make it easier to move, not to mention getting the metal from the cart into the pillowcase, was taking most of Xelloss's attention even as Anise finished off their conversation with the two new patients and headed out as well. He managed to finally move all of the metal, and pushing the cart to the side, shovel and flashlight balanced under one arm, he offered the improvised bag to her with a wide smile.

"If you'll take this, I can hold the flashlight and we can look over the map again. Or we can head back, too. We've been very lucky with not encountering monsters so far, don't you think so?" He wasn't completely happy with that, but now that they'd succeeded in getting the metal they'd sought, it seemed too bad if they might lose it in a fight.
