Lori
*She chuckles as she re-adjusts with the help of some vines that decided to come out to help her, but at this point, summoning vines to help her out is so sub-conscious that they practically do it automatically*

*Once i make this realization, i audibly facepalm as i get my vines to just carry my boxes for me* 

*She says while chuckling and getting a vine to help you out* "I am so fucking stupid"

"I am so sorry, Silas... I completely forgot about my vines..."
Charles
◆ "Huh?"

□ Admittedly, Silas hadn't even noticed anything. He'd been more focused on keeping his grip steady and preventing his knuckles from staining themselves in permanent frost to really notice what was going on behind him. If anything, it came as a bit of a surprise that this girl, this Natsuki knockoff, was apologizing out of the blue, and it was only with the slight turn of his noggin that he noticed exactly what she was talking about. Vines had sprouted from the ground, grasping at suitcases with mindless skill, and though it initially got a surprised look out of him he soon laughed it off and kept on walking.

▪︎ After all...

◆ "Ain't no sense in apologizing, mate. Fuck... That's hardly the weirdest thing in a place like this." He spoke in an amused manner. "Like, you're gonna see so much weirder by the time you leave here, alright? So don't bother apologizing for shit like this. It's kinda pointless."
Lori
"N-No, you don't understand, i coulda used them this whole time and i just forgot about them... I know you were struggling..."

*One of the vines grabs the suitcase from your hands and you can get a good look at 'em. Its classic vines, a nice green color, occasional leaves along it, and its **Thick as fuck**, just so it can actually grab and move things without breaking*

"I get that i'll see weirder things, i just feel bad for making you carry that without me using my vines to just make it easier for us...
Charles
◆ "Nah, nah, don't worry about me, mate." Dismissively nudging the vine away, he'd seemingly made up his mind. "Might do me and my stick arms some good to lift some heavy shit for once, huh?"

□ Perhaps he was being a bit *Too* Dismissive of the offered help, but as it went in his mind, he'd come this far already so why give up when he was at most five more minutes of heft away? Now at the door he managed to nudge it open with his hip, clearly experienced in the field, and once it was open he'd press his back flat to it and wave Penelope in with the intentional wave of his head.

▪︎ After all, it was a bit chilly, so there was no sense in standing around too long outside.

◆ "Aaalright, so." Once Penelope would make her way in, of her own accord, Silas would break the silence prior to the door closing. "Did they tell ya what floor you're on, mate? Or do they expect ya to be a clairvoyant and divine where the fuck you'll be sleeping?"
Lori
*She starts to get a bit worried on how much he's dismissing help, but at least she goes inside with him, agreeing that it is wayyy too cold outside*

*Her thoughts are so paranoid about how he thinks of her, if there was a mind reader here, they'd get 2nd hand depression from how negative the thoughts are*

"Erm... I was told i'd be on the first floor, that's what i remember anyway... A-Are you sure that you don't want me to help with that?"

*I mean, his arms must be tired at this point! His arms are practically twigs, his arms must be so tired from holding that suitcase full of clothes... She walks through and ushers Silas through with her, trying to get this to her room as fast as possible, just for his sake*
