They come up with a number of designs, some of them better than others.

"You know," says Ivethis, pointing, "I think I like this one best. The others are probably less likely to collapse under their own weight, but it's very... open? It uses the space inside a bit better."

"Mm, yeah. I like it too."

"I guess I should set up another stone block with insufficient support and leave it overnight. See if it'll stay up without me. Since that'd be a bad thing to figure out with a castle."

"Yeah, probably a good idea."

"Though I don't know what would happen if I left, either, or if something were to put in the effort to kill me. Maybe it'd be smarter to go with the ones that will probably not collapse without me..."

"Maybe, but that one's so pretty."

Giggle.

"It is, but it seems less than practical - well. I suppose if it's just us, it doesn't matter if we're a bit less practical, does it?"

"We can be impractical if we want!"

"All right. But if the place collapses on you a hundred years down the line, you can't come and complain to me. You supported me in frivolous decision-making."

"Deal."

She's tempted to kiss him again. He's just so cute.

"- Let me get the stone brick set up again. And this time not squish my hand."

He laughs. "Sure."

A bit of wall opens and deposits another brick with its insufficient stick support system. Ivethis carefully removes one side of the supports, then scoots far away from it.

"Right, then. Shall we see if I can add an entrance hall to this castle, as well? Possibly we should have done that before designing a whole castle, but ah. It was still fun, even if it turns out to be pointless."

Giggle. "Yeah."

"And we have so many charming dollhouse sized castles, now!" she says brightly, carefully standing. It's kind of hard, on the squishy floor covered in pillows and blankets, but she manages.

She smiles at him.

"Right, uh. Any idea for possible safety measures if adding an entrance hall causes the entire castle to collapse in a horrific disaster?"

"...um... safety measures are not my strongest suit..."

Snort.

"Fair enough. If there were a cellar in this bloated mess of a castle, I'd say go there to weather out the rain of stone and dig ourselves out later, but there isn't. Ah, not near any windows in case they shatter from the strain - outside would be the best, if outside were proven safe. Hmm... this awkwardly located bedroom here?" She points on the appropriate tiny castle.

"Awkwardly located bedroom!"

To the awkwardly located bedroom!

Once they're in the awkward location, she sits on the bed and says, "Ready, then?"

Sit. Hug. "Ready!"

Hug! "The hugging is mandatory, of course."

There's a faint, faraway sound of large stone bricks being moved into other large stone bricks. Then it stops.

"That sounded promising," chirps Ivethis.

She nuzzles him, then gently extracts herself from snuggles.

"Time to go look to see if there's a new entrance hall!"
