Walker?

[A rather stiff looking man appears on the video feed, handling the little device fairly easily for new arrival. There's a heavy frown on his face and one hand is rubbing almost anxiously at his neck. His clothing (what can be seen of it, anyway) is a bit dated, but overall he seems very well put together. Very neat.]

Supervisor? [He squares his shoulders and drops his hand to his side.] Status, please.

[Link's normal frown deepens at the sudden assault, but he doesn't wave the golem off like one might think he would. Instead he just sighs and waits patiently for Tim to take his normal perch before heading out the door.]

[Tim is very pleased by your acquiescence, even if his master may be quite surprised by it. The golem flumps on Link's head and stretches his wings once, then sags like he's settling into a well-loved couch. He won't be moving anytime soon.

Allen shuts the door behind them and turns to nod at Room 103.] That's the one.

[Link handles Tim's extra weight easily, barely acknowledging the golem's presence now that he's settled. It's just another thing he's grown used to.

He heads for 103 and presses inside, quickly moving to assess and gather what they've got to work with.]

It looks like there's enough here to last until we can dry some wood out.

Indeed. Is there anything I can help with?

[He's sizing up a broken table, clearly deciding on the best way to slice it up.]

[Link, for his part, has already unsheathed one of his switchblades and is eying up the pieces of a broken chair.]

We'll need to keep the timber small if we're to keep the fire relatively contained. [A pointed glance at Allen's Innocence hand.]

[tothelastbreath]

[Which gets Invoked in the next instant, its wielder choosing to keep to its claw form for precision's sake.]

Noted. [And gets right to work, doing his best to keep the timber to approximately one foot in length and two inches across.]

[inspector_link]

[Link gives a slight nod of approval before turning to his own timber, making quick work of it and starting a neat pile.]

[Offline]

[tothelastbreath]

[Gathers his timber into a pile as well, though not quite as neat, deactivating his Innocence as soon as he's able to. No sense in wasting his body's energy.]

Will this do?

[Offline]

[inspector_link]

For now, yes. [Link carefully crouches to gather up his own pile, balancing it with ease and even managing to keep the golem on his head steady as he heads for the door once more.]

[tothelastbreath]

[Cocks his head at this, then starts gathering up his own pile of timber with a seemingly casual--] Your balance's gotten better.

[Offline]

[inspector_link]

[Just as casually.] I haven't been lazing about for the last two years.

[tothelastbreath]

Of course. I should've known. [Follows with his pile, keeping his eyes fixed on the back of Link's head instead of his anklet-free foot.]

[Offline]

[inspector_link]

[Link hasn't noticed Allen's anklet (or his lack of one) yet. Back to Allen's room to rebuild the timber pile by his window.]

[Offline]

[tothelastbreath]

[A part of Allen hopes he won't ever notice it, but he'll settle for as long as possible. For now, he just holds his tongue and stacks his own pile beside Link's.]

How long do you think these will last?

[Studying the pile.] ... A day or two if we're careful, and there's still more to work with in that room.
