[Today! There appears to be someone who's not suited for construction at all working on the roof of the Hawke and co. cabin. And occasionally snarking at a woman below]

Hawke, not to belittle your generous offer of a place to stay, but are you sure it wasn't just so you could get me in one place long enough for a bit of hard labor?

[casually taking a rooftop stroll, hands in the pockets of his coat]

Need a hand?

[sharpasafawkes]

Would be nice, though I've got to ask if long walks on the roofs is a normal hobby for you.

[solipsismmortal]

Lucky fer you, it just so happens it is.

[sharpasafawkes]

No, lucky was the fella with a metal nose teaching me a bit about construction, this is a bit off-putting but I'm not going to look it in the mouth.

[solipsismmortal]

Sure, sure. You want me ta help or not?

[sharpasafawkes]

Oh touchy aren't we?

Honestly though, I'd like the help, thanks mate.

[solipsismmortal]

[all teeth and grins]

Not a problem.

[sharpasafawkes]

[Handing over a hammer... a little unsure.]

You don't get out that much, do you?

[solipsismmortal]

[takes it and starts working. pretty skilled!]

Oh, I'm out all the time. It's bein' in that don't happen very often.

[Watching a bit to see how he does it as he works]

I'll have you know I'm refraining from a "raised by wild animals" comment, but I've got to ask, where'd you learn that trick?

[solipsismmortal]

[nothing too special, just standard handyman movements]

Which trick in particular?

[sharpasafawkes]

Keeping your balance like that, I've seen something like it before, but it was a bit different.

[solipsismmortal]

I used ta work in the circus. Spend some years as an acrobat an' ya pick some things up.

[sharpasafawkes]

That explains why it was a little more showy.

[solipsismmortal]

Some habits die hard.

[sharpasafawkes]

There's noting wrong with it, as long as it works, just means you've internalized the basics.
