[ IN SOME UNIVERSE WHERE LAURA IS A SANIWA BECAUSE NO ONE LOVES SWORDS AS MUCH AS SHE DOES--

She's in the middle of decorating. Which is to say, she's got tinsel wrapped around her like a scarf, she's hung up several decorations all around the Citadel and at this exact moment, she is...

On the roof. Probably to hang lights, but she sure is delightfully close to the edge.

It's probably fine, she seems perfectly serene about it!! ]

Ah... perhaps I should have asked for assistance first...

YAAA

[okitactless]

[LAURA WHY

AND WHY THE ROOF why is yams also on the roof what is with the roof it's a mystery, but here they are anyway. And here comes Yasu Clause with his arms full of even more strings of lights, because that's clearly what they need, more things to get tangled up in.]

Ah, aruji! You came up here too! [WHERE DID HE THINK SHE WAS]

[arseid]

[ THE ROOF IS THE IDEAL PLACE TO NOTICE THAT EVERYTHING THE LIGHT TOUCHES IS YOUR KINGDOM-- but also to hang lights, which is clearly the only reason why they're both up there instead of safely on the ground where normal people and/or swords are.

Ah, well. Laura only looks slightly surprised, before she smiles and lifts a light-wrapped hand in greeting. ]

It seems we both had the same idea. Your timing is flawless, Yasusada.

[okitactless]

["normal swords" as if such a thing exists and this Citadel isn't full of bozos

But anyway, luckily Yasusada's balance is pretty good, so he makes it over to her without much trouble and unceremoniously dumps his lights in the pile.] Can I help? It would take a long time to do this all by yourself, right?

[arseid]

[ there's like one normal sword probably shh

But Laura brightens. She's not about to be stubborn here, not when this is clearly so important. ]

I wasn't going to force anyone to assist me, but if you're offering, I'd gladly accept your help. I was just thinking it might be easier with two people.

[ THIS MOFO IS GOING TO GLOW. ]

[okitactless]

[it's the one who's always asleep

He's got to laugh at that, though.] Aruji! We're always happy to help you.

[HOW SILLY, says the sword who would drop everything, literally and metaphorically, for his master-- ahem. He turns to look at the edge of the rooftop, tapping his lip thoughtfully.]

We have to make sure they don't fall off, right? Is that it? [or are they supposed to "plug it in" somewhere or do something with "remotes" and "wires" HE'S A SIMPLE SWORD OKAY all these high-tech things like electricity are complicated.]

[arseid]

[ Please don't literally drop everything for your master, Yasusada, that's pretty big. But Laura nods and crouches near the edge, looking over it as her ponytail flops over her shoulder to dangle. ]

That's it. For now, we're merely arranging them to hang. The ends should both hook to the edge, so it's just a matter of getting them where we want them.

[okitactless]

[HE WILL DROP ALL OF THE THINGS IF SHE NEEDS THAT!!!

AND LOOK at least he's not totally reckless?? In that he quickly shuffles forward, looking concerned.] Ah, aruji, don't get too close! You might fall off and get tangled in the lights, and then they'd break!

[It's... kind of... logical? Maybe?]

[arseid]

[ It... really is kind of logical, except Laura is looking more bemused than anything. She'll straighten up and take a few steps back to appease him, though?? ]

Don't worry, my balance isn't that compromised. But I do have to get close to the edge in order to hang them.

[okitactless]

It's okay, I can do it! I won't die if I fall off. [yams why]

[arseid]

... I'd rather you not fall off at all.

[ yams no, she's looking rather perturbed?? NO FALLING ]

[okitactless]

I won't! [who would believe that] Look, you can even hold onto my scarf to keep me steady!

[the scarf that is

currently around his neck

because THAT would not end in disaster either]

[arseid]

Absolutely not.

[ And she's moving to decisively block his path, except it's a little too close and--

Yep, there sure is a edge she's stumbling over.

BYEEEEE?? ]
