// he's nice, polite, he'll catch you by surprise //
The heaviness of the crate is surprising to him, but he doesn’t delve into it too much - unsure of just how many doorknobs might be in it or whether it harbored fancier plates to go beneath the knobs. So when they crack it up, his head tilts as he inspects what he expects to find carefully crafted doorknobs and instead finds something cursed.
Quite literally, as it turns out, because it begins to complain almost immediately. A chorus of insults that stream and spew from the crate immediately have Danta cursing back at them, and Asta so surprised by it all he can’t help but to laugh. Until one of the doorknobs calls him ugly, in which case it sparks an immediate complaint. “These are dreadful.” He murmurs, nose wrinkling as he tries to find anything halfway decent. When he comes up empty, he glances up at Danta with a contemplative look.
If this were anyone else’s home he’d have placed a few within. But this is Flora’s, and the last thing he wants is for it to mutter angrily all while looking as tarnished and unsalvageable as can be. She deserves the best, so, with Danta’s help, the doorknobs are brought back down and outside, and the two Ancient’s slip out to go and find a number of beautifully crafted and unique doorknobs for Flora’s home.
But don’t think the butcher won’t hang onto a few of the doorknobs just in case. It was always good to have options, of course.
As for Sunjata, the crate he’d picked up initially is easily placed throughout the room he’d been working on. And when he gets back downstairs and out to the rest of it, he stares at the enormous one that Ronin and Remi are standing by trying to figure out how to bring it in. Niki, as usual, harbors a good eye. And with his instruction, he nods and steps over to the side of the crate the necromancer has instructed. “Alright, we’ve got this.” He murmurs, taking the side indicated and lifting it when he’s sure the other demigods have the other side. And once they have a good grip, he begins to try and guide it through the opening.
Asta and Danta go to source new doorknobs! (But they are keeping a few for the lols later).
Sunjata follows Niki’s advice and takes one side of it and will guide it in slowly with the help of Remi and Ronin.
