Crowley had grown weary of reading the books he'd gotten to take to Aziraphale in the clinic, so he sauntered into the rec room to do battle with the bookshelf. He had always believed that Good and Evil were just names of sides, but that was until he'd encountered the shelf and the jukebox.

Her hands faltered, and she'd never been so confused. The ribbon was an automatic reflex by this point - tie her hair, clear her head. That was how it worked. But now- He'd just- and- She blinked, finding her head not clear at all.

"I- err- I was- I mean- The- the supports. Since we're closer to the beach I wanted to either sink them deeper to account for the instability of the ground and the increased windshear coming off the water, but I can't dig that deep- and I was thinking about making cement, and I can find the pumice but the bookshelf won't give me the right books, and finding enough wood for stairs- I'd originally hoped to make them out of metal, but there isn't any here."

It was a spill of nervous words, her teeth worrying her bottom lip. "I suppose they could go around the tree-trunk, but it'd make it awfully difficult, I'd think. And potentially kill the tree, if you have to anchor them too much." It was clear from her words that she did know what she was talking about. "It's a bit odd, because I built the treehouse, but... I didn't. I... left. And came back, and-" ... Well.

So the bits of her brain she'd used to make it hadn't been used at all.

"... Really? Do you think- I mean, if you wouldn't mind?" She chewed on the inside of her lip. "I'm looking for anything on primitive staircases."

She almost wanted to ask him if he could help- she wasn't strong enough to get the supports to do what she needed them too, but he probably was- but Klaus would probably have a cat.

"I'd be happy to help, Violet," he smiled, adjusting her bow a little. "Any time you like, just find me."

She ducked her head, not used to having people adjusting things. The last person who'd done so was her mother, and... well. You can guess how that turned out. "I'll do that. I'll talk to Klaus first, but.... I'll make sure to do that."
