While Torako was being particular in her search, Kyang was looking more broadly, trying to find spots that would make sense to hold a secret hiding place given the circumstances. She wasn't having much luck. Though, the last thing she expected was for Torako's search to find something out of nowhere. Kyang's ears prickled and she turned her head to see what she had found. Come to think of it, that foliage [i]is[/i] a little thicker than usual over there.

By the time Kyang strode over, Liu already tried and failed to open what was evidently some kind of cellar door built in the middle of the forest. Kyang was impressed; an underground hideout would have taken a lot longer to build than anything else. Either that or this was just a smaller stash for loot and supplies. Either way, it was a good find. "Good job, Torako," Kyang mentioned as an aside. She didn't quite go as far as a head pat.

Kyang's thoughts resonated with Liu's words when the doors proved to be locked. The corner of her mouth curled upwards in contemplation as she put a fist on her hip and hummed in thought. One possibility came to mind that Kyang hadn't employed since her days of sneaking out of her home. She stepped up to the door and knelt down. It didn't take long to find what she was looking for; a keyhole.

"Hey...Torako?" Kyang began to say without looking away from the door. She lifted a palm up behind herself, "You wouldn't happen to have a hairpin I could borrow, would you?"
