[Rosa is KIND OF HOVERING since SHE IS NOW DEDICATED TO CATCHING THIS COUCH IF IT SLIDES, but also, oh right, the faster she actually shows him where house nine is the less time he is actually hefting her couch. she is kind of impressed actually! it's a lot to heft.

thank you, she mouths at him, ducking her head, and then hustles them down the path. at least it's not that far to go; there's that much to be said for how consolidated this frightened community is.]
