and the sky was littered with the corpses of stars
Mabel agrees to finish the window for them, and they offer her a bright fanged smile in thanks. “Thank you Mabel!” They chime, smoothing down their shirt from the dust that might have collected itself onto them as they focus on the next task they have. Mabel, for whatever reason, finds difficulty in boarding up the window – perhaps because of the space she attempts to nail the board into has rotted somewhat and won’t hold the nail, the board slipping constantly. It’s held in on one end but the other tends to swing down without having anything to hold it in.Henry on the other hand, is probably the most successful of the trio, stuffing snow moss beneath the floor boards, walking along the tops of the floor to find where it squeaks and it needs more. He makes quick work of it while it takes Azrael some time to fit them in – whether it’s because they’re a bit of a perfectionist versus just doing enough to get the job done, it’s hard to say. At least they haven’t fallen down again.
They continue to work, however, as Henry’s question reaches them and their dark eyes lift to spot the man. “I am!” They chime, flashing a bright smile. “Bastien’s my father and Rexanna was my mother. She used to be Queen and she died last LongNight.” They don’t have hardly any memories of their mother, after all – she had died just after they were created and their memories were fuzzy and faded, if there at all.
