[ As he speaks, there's movement. Riku's other hand pats at the man's hip, searching, finally finding a belt loop of his and giving it a sharp tug to test how secure it is. If it'll serve for the use he'll have for it. Swinging the lantern back down, he pulls apart the ring that serves as a handle just enough to slide it through his belt loop. ]
If you can find a carabiner, use that. I found one at the general store, with the ropes.
