For once, things seemed to be going well and Kel might have almost been happy with the simple, productive work if his skin didn't continue to crawl thinking of the sharp-toothed Ascended just up the stairs. It kept him cautious and alert, and maybe that's why he managed to avoid cutting himself or dumping the dust all over himself as he tidied up.
Alas, things couldn't go so well forever.
Of course the nest was occupied, and Kel bit back a yelp as his casual retrieval turned into a careful juggling to try and protect the eggs still within. He had a soft spot for birds, a general weakness for anything feathered, and he didn't even think of tossing the nest aside.
But he didn't know what to do with it, either.
He headed for the hall, using little gusts of wind to try and keep the mother away while he shut the door and bought himself a few moments to breathe. "Is there a way up to the roof?" he called out, wincing a little at how he'd raised his voice but hoping either Sam next door or the tattooed proprietor upstairs would be able to answer him.
