011 ☯ Alma [VIDEO]

[alma_karma]

[Alma looks a little worse for the wear after so long in the fog. Not really in bad shape physically, but the bitty is tired. Kinda dirty and pretty ruffled-looking too, but mostly tired.]

Is everybody okay?

[He shifts a little nervously, rustling some papers together off-screen.]

R-Rhode? I drew your pictures...

[Because experience tells him that presents are the best way to pacify an angry Noah.]

[alma_karma]

Probably not. [He laughs along with Lavi.]

Yeah!

[Sets Alma back down on the ground.] Now, I've left the bathroom door open up on my floor. Why don't you go on up and pick out a soap, yeah? I found a few in my adventures.

I'll go get some water and it'll warm up with me carrying it up here, yeah?

in person;

[alma_karma]

Okay. You sure you don't need help?

in person;

[outsidehistory]

Want to carry a bucket back up, do you?

in person;

[alma_karma]

Four's a lot of buckets for one person to carry.

in person;

[outsidehistory]

Well, I was thinking of making two trips if I needed to. But I certainly don't mind the help~

in person;

[alma_karma]

We can each carry two buckets, then!

in person;

[outsidehistory]

Think you'll be able to manage two buckets with all these stairs?

in person;

[alma_karma]

Of course!

in person;

[outsidehistory]

Alright, if you think you can. [Holding out two buckets.] Might as well put you to work now.

in person;

[alma_karma]

I know I can! [Grabbing those buckets and flashing a little grin.]

in person;

[outsidehistory]

[He laughs a bit and ruffles Alma's hair with his now free hand.] Alright, then. I trust you with two buckets, yeah?

Now, back down the stairs with you.

in person;

[alma_karma]

Yep! [And down the stairs he goes!]

in person;

[outsidehistory]

[Lavi chuckles again and follows after him.]

in person;

[alma_karma]

[Outsiiiiide! He turns and walks backwards for a little bit, watching to make sure Lavi's still following.]

in person;

[outsidehistory]

[Oh, he's still following. Though he might be a few more seconds behind Alma than the younger boy thought.]

in person;

[alma_karma]

[Slowing down, then.]

... You okay, Lavi?

in person;

[outsidehistory]

Me? [Grins, just a little out of breath from eight flights of stairs.] I'm fine, yeah? Just a long way down when you take the stairs. [lmf who uses his hammer.]

Re: in person;

[alma_karma]

[See, isn't Lavi glad Alma's helping?

Bitty wanders back to walk side-by-side with the bookman.]

I guess it is pretty far.

in person;

[outsidehistory]

[Very glad! He hadn't thought it would be this daunting. He needs to start training again.

Grins at him.] Not a trip I usually take, anyway.

in person;

[alma_karma]

You don't?

in person;

[outsidehistory]

I use my hammer to get downstairs, yeah? [Grins.]

in person;

[alma_karma]

Oh! That's a much better way to do it!

in person;

[outsidehistory]

Yeah, except it's made me a bit lazy, I guess.

in person;

[alma_karma]

Maybe you could switch back and forth?
