Theo's just bitten into an apple when he feels the summons, so he doesn't stop to put it down before accepting. He can get rid of it later if necessary.
Luckily, so he thinks, he gets to the summons before anyone else.
"I'm not clear how– things should interact, if there are things I need to be careful of, that sort of thing."
He smiles a bit but stops pretty quickly. "I– um. I don't know about the, um, y'know— your dad."
Mood killer. Yeah. Oops.
"I am completely bewildered by why you brought that up, we were having such a nice flirty conversation there."
"Because I am not clear if I need to be wary of anything. Also you're eighteen!" Pause. "That is not the issue here but – I don't know."
"I mean there are several possible things you could be wary of but why would my father be one of them—and yeah I'm eighteen, you don't look that much older yourself."
Pause. "Because not that it's any of my business but I don't know what kind of things might be an issue."
"Stiiiilllll don't know how my father'd be an issue. In. You know. This context."
"… Flirtiness might escalate to something else and you might have issues with the 'something else' depending on what your father might have done."
"Yeah, um. He was just, you know—actually no I don't really wanna get into details about it right now."
"No, I don't think that's– no." Shrug. "I, um. Since I've probably just killed this mood I think I'll just go find somewhere to fix."
He unfurls his wings.
He fails to convince himself he'll be able to recover the mood so remains silent.
Off Theo goes.
Anywhere that looks like it might need help with reconstruction? For an hour and a half?
Sigh.
Not even, like, city walls? Or a house extension or someone trying to paint a sign or something that he can do and help with and hopefully not get yelled at for doing something wrong by asking before he does anything?
He will go that way.
Are there any people outside it who seem like they might be construction workers? He assumes they don't wear overalls and hardhats here, what with how revealing the clothing typically is.
He will go to them, then, explain his abilities, and ask if they would like any help with what is presumably construction.
