A faint knock is heard at the door as Roderich is always semi-conscious of how much he himself hates abrupt loud interruptions. Still, he hopes that a surprise visit is not totally unwanted. It had been some time since he had seen her and in spite of his seemingly frosty demeanor, he did fret somewhat. He wonders if he should have called first, but he supposes that if she were not at home he could always, wait. He glances behind himself. That would be, perhaps more than a little awkward. No, hopefully she was at home.

      “I know it’s a lot of work since Venezia doesn’t allow cars and stuff and you have to walk a bunch and use boats and-” He’s still rambling, but it’s obvious that he’s really thankful she’s there anyways.

“We all do it, really, but I think you’ve made it a habit for far too long. You’ll be prone to outbursts if you keep at it.” Perhaps he was talking from experience. 

“um. I definitely recall you saying that it was okay. They were also really good.”

She was perched right up on Monika’s shoulder’s by now (and was kind of enjoying the view from up here). She reached into the cabinet to retrieve the glass she was after. “I wouldn’t have to climb up or ask you if you didn’t put everything on the top shelf. Here.” She passed the glass down to Monika so she could put it safely on the counter. But she did not climb down from her shoulders. It was nice to be this high. Instead, she rested her chin on Monika’s head. “But this is kind of fun, you know?”

Sometimes she just looks at Monika while she’s supposed to be listening to her talk and wonders if she’s hiding just the biggest pair of badonkadonks under a sports bra or something. 

“Would you? It would be nice to get it out of my face, it’s warmer out today than I thought it would be.” She plops herself onto the nearest chair and sits up straight. “I never could braid my own hair very well. Remember how I’d do yours, though? You were the cutest thing.”

“It’s not a crisis yet, but we’re starting to get there. Run down to the store and pick up another bag of cement and two buckets”
