Mia's painful memories

"Scavenge run?" Mia repeated my words. "Scavenge I can understand… but why call it a run?" she asked while leaning her head over her shoulder to the side. 

"Ah," I smiled, "don't mind it. It just means a scavenging mission," I explained.

After all, if I were to explain the true meaning of scavenging run, I would have to start with basic physics, and go all the way through the middle and high-school curriculum before starting on electrics, programming, gaming culture…

All the way to the point where I would explain just a single game, all for the sake of properly explaining a single reference. 

Yeah, there was no way I was doing all of that. 

"Well, I can understand the idea…" Mia muttered with a look on her face that told me she lacked coincidence in such a plan. 

Mia then took a step closer before leaning over my ear and whispering, "what if they try to keep stuff to themselves?"
