Color Goro Akechi genuinely surprised. Emet-Selch?

He did try not to let it show too much, though. "While there's a lot of catharsis to be found in breaking things, I probably wouldn't be inviting other people over to my place for that. Certain other people, were they here? Probably. But no, the one thing that I can't handle by myself would be getting the furniture out. You're welcome to stay past that and help me make interior design decisions I'm probably going to regret later, but you're by no means obligated."

[Surprise, surprise. Look, he was bored. And had nothing better to do with his time at the moment. Such things tend to happen when you shift your focus from planning the next calamity to indulging in a brief moment of personal happiness. Though Emet-Selch is no more or less pleasant than when he first arrived, something about him seems to have mellowed out slightly.]

[A sip of tea, and then:]

Is that all? Moving furniture? You might have been more specific in your message.

[A pause as he sets his cup down.]

And you would save the only interesting part for last. Fine, then. Where do you need this furniture moved to?

"In my defense, it's not as though I have any experience with anything like this," he gestured vaguely at the room around him. "I don't know what the proper protocol is, and honestly I didn't expect anyone to willingly show up, even with explicit bribery. That said, thank you for your help."

He carefully selected a croissant from the bag on the counter. "Just outside, preferably underneath the tree since there's supposed to be snow in the forecast and while I hope to be done before then, things rarely go the way I plan."

Hythlodaeus is busy taste-testing some new concoction for Madhuri and I just so happened to be in the area with little better to do.

['Tis the man's story and he is sticking to it. Though, truthfully there's any number of other things he could be doing if he wished, whether it be related to magical and technological advancements within the city or simply sitting in on a script reading at the theatre for a worry-free afternoon.]

[He frowns at the tree through the window.]

If you've realized that, you're already one step ahead of most. Moving all of this is the easy part, though I cannot guarantee the furniture will remain dry. Should it begin snowing again, even tucked away beneath a tree, you will only be one rambunctious nutkin away from finding a snowdrift in your bed.

Akechi snorted. "Well, it's a lesson that's taken a lot of beating in. Dare I ask what a nutkin is?"

Mm. Croissant. As it turned out? Baked goods were excellent motivation.
"Either way, nothing a few hours with a heating crystal can't fix. Paint, on the other hand, is much harder to remove, and I'm expecting it to get everywhere." Shall we?"
