∞ 87: Rooftops [action]

[Around mid-morning, Albert can be seen picking up small things in the plaza -- nails, pens, groceries. He doesn't often do this, but it's been a week since he gave Caesar the task of repairing the stable, so he finds himself inspecting and repairing the amateurish work. That requires a few extra building supplies. Might as well take advantage of how calm everything is with the New Feathers coming in, right?

Albert spends the afternoon pulling out half-bent nails and readjusting crooked wooden slats. He can't say that he's disappointed, since Caesar actually tried to rebuild the stable's roof, but he can have the opinion that did a really shabby job. Silverbergs were apparently not very good roof-builders.

In the evening, after dinner, he'll be found up on house 42's roof, having climbed up through the skylight. It's something he's never really taken advantage of, and yet there's something familiar about it. He remains out there for a good while, almost meditating.]

[She nods cheerfully at that. Yes please!]

[She tilts her head, this time curious, and still sporting his face. Why not?]

[She thinks about it for a moment then shakes her head. She smiles because she wants to, and she never really needed a reason to do it.]

[She pauses, then points to him, then copies his exact expression. So that means you're not happy?]

[She looks at him a little oddly at that, reminded for a moment of Xing Lu, before she reaches her hand up this time. Unfortunately she's rather short, so she can't even reach his shoulder at this point.]

[Yay! Good enough. She tiptoes this time, ruffling Albert's hair, trying to tell him it's fine if he doesn't smile.]

[That wasn't so bad, was it? She pulls away, smiling brightly, before finally returning to her own face.]

[She lets out a series of cheerful sounds at that. That's better!]

[She hums cheerfully, pointing to the fountain. Sure, she'll be in the lake and rivers at night, but she'll be hanging out in the middle of the plaza more often now.]

[She nods, then points at him for a moment, after which she used her right hand and moved two fingers in a walking motion, trying to ask where he's going.]
