[ just. shoving his hoodie low over his face.

[ guess this is why Totsuka asked for a ladder huh. ]
Alright.
[ grabbing the ladder and setting it near the tree. ] Watch your step, both of you.

[ Shakily, Kougyoku descends the ladder, concentrating on nothing but the steps before her. Heights weren't too much of an issue now that it was safe for her. It's just... she might fall, then Izumo might catch her. kyaaa
She never falls, though. Both her feet make it on solid ground. A sigh of relief at that!
Now it's Eric's turn. ]

[ folds his arms across his chest, a piercing look at Eric. ] Eric. [ you made him use The Voice, eric ): ] Come down.
[ he'll burn the tree. even worse, he might lift it from the ground and shake it until you fall into the snow. your choice. ]

Watch your step, I said. [ mom mode is on, apparently. but he turns to Kougyoku. ] How'd you get up there, by the way?
[ he safely reaches the ground, of course.
but now he's just going to stand here in silence, one hand raised to the top of his hoodie.
should he pull it back down over his face and pretend he's not here or just. continue making faces, hmm. ]

[ Izumo glances to the side once he notices Eric's down, and immediately reaches out to give him a light pat on the head before he turns back to Kougyoku. ]
And one of you kicked the ball a little too high, right?

[ so many headpats...
yes okay just going to. embarrassingly leave his hood as it is. kougyoku can explain. he'll just stand right here. ]

[ .... Izumo chuckles. ]
What for? You two were just playin' right? [ and Kougyoku gets a headpat herself. ]

[ he did get hit in the face, but. ]
I'll go back inside.
I'll go back inside.
Probably at the end of the day.
[ but he raises an eyebrow at Totsuka in question, as if silently asking, do you know this? ]
