"Maybe this, ah yesyesyesyes" The lynx seemed smitten with his current find, paws digging away at the dirt in this way and that, claws extended forward to rake through what would be scooped up in the next stroke. It would seem that Sterling had wandered his way up into some mountains, bucket in tow as per usual for him. "Just a little bit more! This'll show that pompous jerk. Who's the one with all of the riches now? It is I! Not me, I." He was near by the Orchard, his current hole mere feet from the old decaying buildings. What on earth was this feline digging for anyways?
After a huff and a few more well placed drags of his paws Sterling reached down and was finally to get purchase on his prize. Claws sank down into the earth around a very dirty and mostly tarnished pendant necklace. He worked carefully, flipping the bit of metal upwards, letting the ground hold it steady as his head delved into the hole. After a moment of wriggling and rustling he pulled back out, tugging firmly as the string loosed its way from the soil, pendant clutched between his teeth. "Yesh! Hahah! I got you now!" He spoke excitedly, bob tail flicking here and there, reflecting his rather open disposition. With a flick of his head the bit of old jewelry was tossed into his bucket with an audible TING as it settled in. Currently this was the only trinket in his precious bucket, the last batch he had ended up lost after a night of wearing his bucket as a hat. Easy come easy go! "Do you see that? Now who is the one with all of the riches? It's not you, that's just some garbage you dug up. Bah, you wouldn't know treasure if it came up and drew the 'X' on your face!"
Reaching forward he took the bucket handle up into his maw and started to trot proudly towards the abandoned looking building, almost like he owned the place. He wasn't quiet about it, though he wasn't exactly speaking for the moment either. His head tilted from side to side with each step, almost bobbing with an unheard rhythm as he made the pendant tak and ting against the walls of his bucket.
