[Anyone around the shop plaza might notice Simon walking from the item bazaar to house 37 dragging or carrying some supplies, namely planks of wood and some basic building materials. Simon's got a little project on the go despite the cold, and he looks determined to get it done. He's wearing Anise's Tokunaga doll on his back.

Residents of house 1 might hear some clumsy construction noises going on close to the building as well, behind the big tree on the right side. Bother away?]

[Oh snap, ambushed twiceover by Anise's scary old man friends. This time Simon's actually moving around, so he turns and very nearly bumps into Jade.]

...Ah! Mister Jade!

*takes a bow*

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

Simon, what are you doing? You should know it's not kind to make so much noise.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I-I'm sorry! Am I bothering you?

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

Possibly. But that would depend on what you are working on.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I can't tell you what it is... but I can move if you want?

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

Oh, and why's that, Simon? I was certain we were quite close by now. After all, I've shared with you secret skills I've shown no one else.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

B-but... that doesn't have anything to do with it...!

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

No, I suppose it doesn't. But I'm sure she will appreciate it.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

....um. [fffff Jade you are too good at this for him.]

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I'm pleased my guess was correct.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

...Why are you so good at that...?

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

It's a talent that takes years of practice. Even in old age, some never learn how to read people.

Not even when those people are open books.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, even he can recognize that barb. Not that he can do anything about it, but.]

Should I move then, so I don't bother you?

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

No, no. If it's for her, I'll allow it. But please, do try to keep the noise level down, or our boisterous neighbors may feel compelled to compete.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I can try. It's hard to hammer quietly.

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

Just do what you are able to. That is all I ask. [And he turns to leave back towards the house.]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Man, Jade, you're weird, but you can be sort of nice. Simon smiles faintly and goes back to work. ...Quietly.]
