He appreciated the occasional comfort Jigano tried to offer, responding by squeezing his fingers lightly. And honestly, he appreciated the atmosphere down there—it was hard and repetitive work, but they all seemed to be in good spirits, working towards a common goal. It was... an odd sort of camaraderie, one he had not experienced in a long time, and he was content. He did not need much more.
The confession from Deimos was not surprising, though Rory didn't quite know how to respond to it. I figured as much seemed a bit on the nose, so he ended up merely grunting in acknowledgment before focusing on his lumber once more.
But soon Deimos called for aid in fixing the beams in place, and with Jigano playfully leaving that duty for someone else, Rory figured he might as well step in. "I might as well," he said, rather quiet, taking a moment to study Remi's 3D sketch. Once he felt fairly confident he knew what he was trying to help Deimos build he went over to the larger man, helping him nail the support beams into shape and place.
