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.

Despite being only sort of good company, Tom has no intention of telling Seoraj to get out; and despite (or perhaps in spite of) himself, he doesn't hate the momentary companionship. Even-tempered people rarely have the patience to put up with him in any context. So this is interesting.

There's also the fact that the other man hasn't fussed over Bruce obviously having been in a fist fight recently.

(...Yet?)

Bruce shoves the last piece of furniture - a sofa - across the last meter of space and then ... sits down on the floor, instead of on it. Okay. He glances at Seoraj.

"Does it look like someone lives here?"
