you are breaking & entering! | marisa & luigi;
Luigi is tucked up under a large bathtub in his latest client's home, having removed a part of the floor in the level beneath to inspect the pipework and find the damage. He'd managed to shut the water system off earlier that morning, and after he was able to access it, the damage didn't look near as extensive as the effects of the damage would have lead one to believe. That was good news. Truthfully, he would probably be finished in--
Luigi startled and dropped his wrench, hearing someone smashing glass on the floor above him.
He scrambled down his ladder to the level below the tub and called out, "Ma'am?" Had she fallen down? Dropped something? Had her pet monkey broken something in her absence?
Lou pulled his green cap tighter down onto his head and started up the stairs.
What he was greeted with made him scramble up onto the floor and take cover.
Half a dozen strangers, all dressed similarly, had broken into Marisa’s home. Luigi pressed his hands over his eyes briefly before making his way to the back of the house to leave as quickly as possible.
As he did, he saw Miss Coulter briskly walking away. As if nothing were happening.
“Ma’am,” Lou hissed, quiet, but his voice didn’t carry far enough to reach her. Tools and other supplies forgotten, Luigi moved to follow after Marisa, concerned about her home and her safety. Luigi also couldn’t see her monkey anywhere.
He reached down to hold his overalls straps for comfort, but found one was undone. He didn’t have time to fix it, and instead ducked down and followed after Marisa.
