stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires
And so it was, that they had their perch even this year, or at least the bones of one. Rory watched Remi as he soared upwards for a moment, before focusing on unhitching the ponies once it was clear the alchemist and the others had the crossbeam under control. Rory whispered little words of thanks and encouragement to the animals, scratching their ears and stroking their foreheads, before walking them back to the proper hitching post.
After securing the ponies he returned to the others. For a moment he just stood there, head tilted back and peering up along the length of the perch.
Then he gave a quiet half-laugh. "I think we should cheer, or something," he remarked, though dryly; Rory wasn't one to cheer when no one else was cheering. "It's rather impressive, even if it's not decorated. Anyone is welcome to help with that, at any time they have a moment to spare, so tell your friends. Painting, hanging little charms on it, dried flower garlands..." He shrugged one shoulder. He usually whittled little charms and hung a few on the pole. "Thank you all for your help. It might not have been your tradition before today, but now it's yours, too." He directed the last bit at the Outlanders, trying to catch Remi's eye for a moment and give him a smile, before retreating to see to his ponies. It was time to get them home, their work done.
Houston Houston we have a perch! Thank you for participating <3
