[ Judging by where she got the sheets from, Souji imagines he'll be able to reach them where she can't. But he doesn't comment on that - because that would be rude, and he's polite - and instead assesses the room again for a moment. It would be nice if they had a second bed instead of this big one, but, well. Beggars can't be choosers. ]

They could be better, but I think they could also be worse. At least the company is good.

[ His smile quirks up again, and he gives her the end that he's already unraveled. It means they can start taking stock of it, and it'll help give them an idea of a layout they can work on. ]

If nothing else, we can at least get started on something with what we have, even if it doesn't cover as much as we anticipate.

[ Ah, a fellow optimist. Were the brooms able to sense that sort of thing, or were they both extremely lucky with their rooming assignment? Either way, Lux offers him an appreciative smile before taking the free end of the line. ]

We could always unravel it if we need to. I wasn't using this for much anyways.

[ It wouldn't be strong enough to use for anything other than tinder, so she doesn't mind offering it to the cause. But that does get her thinking, as she takes her end and begins crossing the room. ]

Running two lines next to each other would make it stronger. We could tie both to the bed post and fan them out. [ She had that thought about the comforter herself. ]

[ Being the hopeful sort like he is, but realistically, Souji will just believe they got lucky. After all, despite all the embarrassed awkwardness that'd preceded this, they're... actually managing pretty well! ]

It'll go to a good cause, at least. [ Said with a small chuckle, as he holds onto his end to let her continue with hers. That way it'll unravel. Her proposal, though - that's actually pretty smart. ]

You're on the right track. The comforter's pretty heavy, but it would be good for either a futon or a more sturdy part of the fort. The sheets and blanket still need support though.

[ She may not be as well-traveled as most, but this isn't her first time pitching a tent—and this seems to be very similar to doing just that. Teamwork makes the dream work, so it's good that the two of them get along. This should go pretty quickly.

Taking the twine from one end of the room to the other, she pinches and winds it around her hand before starting another pass. Looks like they'll have at least two full lengths. ]

A futon? [ She's not familiar with that term. ]

[ Pitching a tent is... not associated with a very great memory. Camping out with Yosuke alone probably would have been fine, but then chaos had ensued on that school trip. Souji will pass on a repeat performance, and just be grateful this is going so much better than that.

But he perks a little as she asks that, even as he eases the twine through his hands for her to get to the end for their estimate. ]

It's a sort of bed, where I come from. There are two kinds, but the most common one in Japan is usually a pliable kind of mattress that can be rolled or folded up for day storage in a closet. Doing that can open up the room, so that you can use it for something else, or free up space.

[ A pliable mattress? In a house? Now that he explains it, a futon sounds a lot like a bed roll (which makes the tent assessment even more apt), but Lux is used to using one for camping. People use them like a bed where Souji is from? That's strange. ]

We have something like that where I'm from, but...

[ She considers, sounding somewhat unconvinced as she curls her hand at her lips. She isn't going to question something that people do where he's from, but Souji, that blanket is too thin for something like that... ]

Maybe we should sandwich a few blankets in-between, just to be safe.

[ She's used to running warm, so it's fine. She would end up kicking them off the bed anyway. ]
