Alys chuckled at Evie's antics, eyeing the pair with perhaps a modicum of jealousy. She was unaware of their exact relationship, but it was clear that they were affectionate in some way. As someone with few friends of her own, it was always jarring to see close relationships in other people.
In any case, the glint that caught her eye turned out to be utensils. Alys reached down to pick up the spork-shaped object, tilting it this way and that in the scant light of the overcast day. The rain, though it had slowed, washed off any residual dirt from the thing. "Can we take these?" she asked aloud, glancing at Deimos for affirmation. It was a fascinating find, and she was always interested in the old and the strange.
She turned back to her pile of bones, making a few more selections and placing them in her basket. Then she straightened, stretching to relieve an ache that had set in in her back from being bent over the bones. At Deimos's instruction, she picked up her basket, braced it on her hip, and began to meander over to the other pile of bones.

Alys picks up a few more bones, the spork, and wanders over to the other pile of bones.
