[With her pulling at him, he swings to his feet and bounces those few steps out of the room to start exploring. Today is off to a great start already - some hot wake-up sex, and now a cool mystery trunk to open? His kind of day. Personally, he's hoping for cool ghost secrets, some kind of mysterious artifact, maybe. But he's betting it's money, which is way more boring.

The main room does have hooks by the door, but no keys on those. Shelves with food and plates and cookware too, and even a butcher block with a drawer inserted into it, but no keys anywhere obvious.]

If I had a key an' wanted to hide it around here... Under the floor, maybe?

[Thing is, with the house in this state, most of the floorboards are already pretty loose. He kicks at one until he gets his toe underneath and pries it upward, but it's just dirt under there, so he lets it drop back into place.]

Or out in the barn? Or inside the mattress in his bedroom?

[Oh, but there's no obvious bedroom. The only other room connected to this one is a tiny bathroom with a tub that looks like it gets used more for washing clothes than anything else. Hm. No fair, why does he have to sleep and this guy doesn't? The storage room they're in must be the old bedroom.]

Maybe it's in that room we just came out of, actually.
