The roof was thankfully clear of snow for the time being, but still very cold, and liable to ice over any time - it was not the safest place to be, and even less so when a person wasn't much caring to be cautious.

Seated a ways away from the window through which Bruno was even now making his gangling climb was the girl in question. Huddled in coat against the cold, Ruka was a practically shapeless lump of red and green on the roof, like something discarded from Christmas. She wasn't facing Bruno-she wasn't facing much of anything, chin sunken behind her knees, arms wrapped around her legs.

She didn't shake for tears, and made no noise for crying, but the air was heavy with more than the cold; if she heard Bruno coming out, she was doing her best to ignore him.

It didn't take being able to feel the precise temperature of the shingles under his fingertips to within a tenth of a degree to know that this roof could be covered in a hair-thin sheen of ice within minutes if the air temperature decided to fall just right. Bruno knew immediately that this was not the greatest place to be hanging out right now.

It also took him no time at all to catch sight of Ruka, but he didn't call out to her right away. The image of her curled up out here, away from the entire world, looking so much worse that she even had in the days leading up to when Bruno talked to her... it pressed a thorn into him somewhere deep.

But he couldn't be sure if she had heard him or not, so he knew he had to speak first. "H-hey..." he started, "are you alright?"

... Okay, not the greatest question right now. "Um... do you need any help getting back inside, or....?"

Ruka didn't visibly react to his words, from where Bruno stood. Her fingers may have tightened on her legs, and with her back to him she could let her expression tighten in a wince, but her shoulders remained where they were, and she made no effort to turn his way.

"No," she called, voice almost as cold as her face against the winter. "I won't."

Her being frigid at him was no kind of surprise at this point, even if it still stung a bit. Bruno had long since figured out that he must have screwed up a lot worse than he thought he had. But whether she wanted him around or not, he didn't want her falling off the house and breaking her neck, and he figured that that trumped her objections for at least a couple minutes.

"C'mon, it's dangerous up here right now," he said, putting on noticeably more of a concerned-adult than a concerned-friend tone, for her sake. "I don't want you to get hurt."
