While Rylee went about cleaning the inside of the house, Kiori decided to tackle the outside. First and foremost, the windows were caked with dirt and gunk, so he scrubbed them off good, inside and out. Next, he hoisted himself onto the roof to clear it of all the leaves and debris that had accumulated there; if left unattended, it would eventually start to rot and eat away through their roof, which was kinda the most important part of the house. Finally, he scraped away the moss that had begun to grow along the side of their house, again defending it from being devoured by the relentless forces of nature. As with any house, there was an endless amount of fixing up that could be done, but it looked like all the pressing issues outside had been addressed, so he headed back inside to see how Rylee was doing.

With the addition of clear sunlight and the absence of filth, it looked like a whole new building. It actually looked like it could be quite comfortable with a couple of pieces of furniture. But that bed... it would be better to sleep outside than on that frame; at least the dirt was soft. Maybe he would be able to think of something once they got some supplies. Kiori turned when Rylee began to speak. "Well it's definitely a nice change of pace," Kiori replied with a smile in regards to cleaning up the house. Then she went on to talk about more of those what ifs. It was fun to dream, to think about things you didn't, or probably couldn't, have. However, now they had it. "Let's not talk about that other reality any more," he continued, walking over to Rylee and wrapping his arms around her in a gentle hug as he got close. In a way, it was almost painful to think about that particular what if at this point; just the idea of how much time they had lost was depressing. "We don't need that one anymore." Then, he gave her a sly grin. "Plus, if you keep talking about getting together with that other Kiori I might get jealous."
