[So, it's still early enough to get a full day's work done, and there's much to do around the HQ.

As people know by now, Level 4 has mostly been cleared of active nature, though farther from the apartments near the stairs there are still the remains of vines and moss and dirt on the buildings and floors. Fallen trees and tangled roots still clog up the area around the buildings which must have once been shops.

Aside from the library claimed by Henrietta and perhaps few other establishments, they are doorless, and inside those abandoned buildings there is still evidence of old equipment and rotted furniture waiting to be re-purposed, broken down for offerings, or thrown out if it's beyond use.

There's not much fresh plantlife left here to collect for offerings, but plenty of cleaning to be done, perhaps in Eizon's name, in exchange for the electricity flowing through whatever fixtures people have acquired by now, or as an offering of kindness in exchange for water...

Up on the fifth level, nature stubbornly continues to prowl.]

Xlos.

[hyanaimne]

Why are you making me keep my hood down this time?

[overclocking]

Because I don't like it when it's up.

[hyanaimne]

. . .

[overclocking]

[what 8|]

[hyanaimne]

[sighs]

I always wear it up, though.

[overclocking]

When we go out. But not in here.

[hyanaimne]

What is wrong with in here? It is not as though you cannot see my face.

[overclocking]

Because you do that when you're trying to close off.

[Well I said my piece :x Rolls off of her]

[hyanaimne]

[. . . '-']

It isn't hiding in the way you think.

[overclocking]

... ?

[hyanaimne]

. . . and it isn't closing off. It is - it is hiding from things I do not quite know how to deal with.

[GESTURES AT HIM in a way where he should get what she means]

[overclocking]

... That's not fair when I don't have a similar way out.

[hyanaimne]

It is much better than fleeing the room.

[overclocking]

...... [no u]

[hyanaimne]

[sits up . . . ugh you won't let me hide ._.]

[overclocking]

[I won't stop you at this point. He just watches wordlessly, half wondering if she's going to anyway.]

[hyanaimne]

[. . . no, she just shifts to sit crosslegged, resting a chin on her hand and gives him a look]

[overclocking]

[He just gives her a look right back, eyebrow quirked]

[hyanaimne]

I am not fleeing nor hiding. Happy?

[overclocking]

[Honestly]

Yes, actually. I am.
