show me all of your affection
let it rain on me
Ray is a familiar, exuberant presence, and Harper returns her wave with a sunny smile. The compliment and offer for assistance makes his cheeks warm with pleasure and appreciation. “Thanks Ray. I’ll definitely keep that in mind - maybe I can set certain days each week for guest teachers?” Though his own experience is vast and detailed across all manner of subjects, he’s not so arrogant as to claim he knows all. Especially with the differences between his world and Caido’s.
The next woman to join them is unfamiliar, but greeted with no less warmth. “An extra pair wouldn’t be amiss! Luckily I got some paint - nice and colorful and hard to miss.” Winking, he laughs and claps his hands readily to assemble the small group to order.
“I’ll do the heavy lifting - not that either of you lovely ladies would be incapable,” he smiles playfully. “I’m going to haul in the furniture I acquired. If someone wants to help clean and unboard the windows inside, and someone else start on scrubbing the outside to prep for the paint to lay smoothly?” He leaves them to decide their own tasks, opening the door to the stale air inside to begin hauling desks and other items in.
