Who: Seoraj & Bruce
What: Some furniture moving, some lunch, some social awkwardness. (Bruce.)
Where: Starting in Bruce's Bonetown apartment.
When: Sukkardi, midday.
Warnings: None currently.

No matter how strong you are, spending a morning moving furniture (and up stairs, which is about as much fun as trying to get a goat to back down them, not that this is something he's ever actually done) is a pain in the arse. It could be worse, and for all that he's quiet and a bit of an odd thing, Tom's sort of good company; curious company, anyway. Seoraj isn't entirely sure what to make of him - sometimes he's sure they're getting on, and conversation is easy (if sometimes strange), and then other moments he can't tell what's going on in the other man's head but he can tell he's not invited to the party.

He's mostly opted to err on the side of letting Tom tell him to push off if he wants to. He hasn't, yet.

It takes Bruce a second to get that - not because he is so high brow but because he's just bad at expecting conversation to go anywhere whimsical. He's bad at it. So when it does congeal in his head he just gives a lofty look like he is so above that joke.

(He's not. He's plainly trying not to laugh when he takes another pull from his tea.)
