Who: Kanda and you!
When: Day 44, evening
Where: Apt D
What: Home improvement!! \o/

[Standing in the doorway of his apartment, nails and a hammer and part of the sliding bolt lock in hand (and dirty and a little bloody, but it's not his!). He's currently lining the lock piece up against the door, settling the nail between a couple of his fingers to try and hold it still as he hammers it in.

... It's going in at an angle, he might need to fix that.]

[drapes arms around him from behind]

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

[outofthemud]

[Tilts his head over his shoulder to look at him.] Alma.

[You look happy.]

[imaginemeandyuu]

[and squeaky clean!] Aren't you putting that in wrong?

[outofthemud]

[... Looks back at it.] Looks like how you'd install it to me.

[No Kanda, not the lock.]

[imaginemeandyuu]

The nail, Yuu, the nail.

[outofthemud]

[Oh. Nudges it with his hammer.] It won't stay still.

[imaginemeandyuu]

If you hit it on an angle, of course it'll go in funny...

[shednotearsformagic]

Not much of a carpenter, I see.

[Oh hey, that girl again. At least she has some proper clothes now.]

[outofthemud]

[--Oh it's the girl he finds oddly pretty.

Straightens up a little, glancing to his handiwork.] It's not like it's something I ever needed before.

[shednotearsformagic]

[:)]

The advantages of being able to regulate the duty to others for whatever reason, but I have personally found being able to use tools yourself can make things a lot easier. And quicker.

[Holds out a hand.] May I try? Near a lock, it's more likely to scrape your hand if it's crooked.

[outofthemud]

[Looks between the lock at her.

... Holds out the hammer, shrugging.] If you want to. It's not hard.

[shednotearsformagic]

Says the one hammering it in crooked.

[But will take the hammer and pulling out the nail.] The most important part is the first strike. One it's in and somewhat stable, you can take care. [And is actually pretty good about that.]

[The things you know how to do thanks to voodoo dolls.] After it's in, just a light tabbing so if it does go crooked, it's easy to compensate.

[outofthemud]

[Huffs. His hammering is perfectly fine.

Steps to the side to give her room, watching her instruction with a slide nod of his head.] You've done this?

[shednotearsformagic]

Like I said, I've found being able to use tools myself saves time and effort. I've picked up quite a few random skills for my chosen path in life.

[Spell preparations require A LOT of work and so many different things.]

[imaginemeandyuu]

It's not his specialty!

[shednotearsformagic]

I suppose he doesn't seem much the type for building furn...

[No, I'm sorry, I have to stare a bit. I am demon contracted girl and you have...WHAT AM I EVEN LOOKING AT.]

[imaginemeandyuu]

[blinks at her, wide eyed, tail shifting behind himself]

--furniture? Not really. Destroying it, maybe.

[shednotearsformagic]

[There is stuff that says he'd be demon or monster thing, but what's with that halo, and IDEK.]

...yes. Destroying furniture is usually a lot simpler too.

[imaginemeandyuu]

[smiles at her!!]

Though Yuu's patient and strong so he could probably learn it given time.

[anklets]

[Zeroing in on the blood like a good, high-strung friend. Though she doesn't comment.]

When did we get locks?

[outofthemud]

Today. It's to keep people from barging in. [Which has... happened a few times now.]

[anklets]

[She made a friend out of that sort of thing! Although he's been permanently nature-napped, SO.]

Oh. Good.


[Pause.] Would you like some help?

[outofthemud]

I've got it. [If with a little difficulty.] Unless you want to hold the door still.

[anklets]

[Promptly moves to do so.]

[outofthemud]

[Pulls his foot back, trying to adjust the nail to hammer it in straighter.]
