John was amazed by the establishment. He was surprised something like this could survive in the apocalypse. Consumed in his curiosity he wandered from the group looking through all the goods and wares, noticing mostly clothes at first then walking into the armory section where all the vendors looked like they were straight out of those shoot-em-up video games with scars and missing fingers. He hurried out of there not seeing anything that wouldn't cost him everything he had.
After a while longer of just blindly observing the interactions and barters he realized he couldn't find anyone from the group he had just met, which usually would be fine with john if not for Lilah, who, through the small talk they made getting here had become more or less of a friend out here in the craziness, and if they weren't friends already there was certainly some opportunity. Which made him lose interest in the surrounding stands of local berries that didn't look very appetizing and made him search for lilah.
Peaking over the displays and around aisles he was beginning to get discouraged,
"Well fuck, maybe they left me..' He said under his breath as he searched.
