[ As soon as Claude steps outside, Perry gets to work. Hilda might not never have agreed to heavy lifting but Perry thankfully doesn't have an opinion. Heavier items - coffee tables, chairs, a dresser - are slowly but surely dragged into place in front of the doors from the terrace into the loft. And in front of the iced out windows? Boxes stacked with heavy books courtesy of their messy, book-loving roommate.
In spite of all this heavy lifting an extension of herself is doing, Hilda's saccharine sweet expression doesn't shift. ]
Oh, Sylvain. [ Her sing-song, almost giggly reply is immediately punctuated by a playful (hard) shove of his shoulder that may or may not be enough to knock him off balance. ] No and no. We just wanted to come and see what you were up to. You've been gone all day.
[ Said as if Claude hadn't also been "out" all day and she hadn't been napping in her room this entire time. How else was she supposed to manage her nerves if not trying to stifle them with a nap? At least she looked well rested and Completely Innocent. ]
