Alto continues to show me the rest of the building, cracking jokes as we go from room to room.
Alto
Beside the kitchen is the old pantry, although we barely use it.
Alto
The kitchens enough so the pantry is rarely cleaned. Nowadays we just use it as storage area.
I peek into a dimly lit room. The smell of dust is in the air.
I catch a glimpse of scuttling from the corner.
Rose
What...?
Rose
Looks like you have a mice.
Alto
I'm amazed you didn't scream at all.
Rose
Why should I? We get them all the time.
Rose
They are pretty much a hassle to handle, though.
Alto
You're much braver than a lot of woman I know.
Rose
💭: Are rats really that scary?
Rose
💭: I have a feeling those women just prefer to act scared to appeal to a certain someone...
We make our way up the stairs, Wich are creaky and seem to shift under my weight.
P.S: THINK ITS DARK NO LIGHTS I CANT FIND A GOOD IMAGE🤧
Alto
You need a hand?
Rose
Thanks, I'm fine.
Alto
Better watch your step. It's a bit dark in this area.😟
Rose
I know. I'll make sure I- Whaa??
As soon as I start talking, my foot lands on a fragile spot that quickly breaks under my weight.
Rose
AH!!
Rose
💭: I'm going to fall...!
Alto's quick reflexes come to the rescue.
His hand deftly catches my waist while the other grabs my hand.
It's almost as if we're dancing in each others arms.
Rose
T... thank you...
Alto
I- it's nothing.
We shyly disengage from the hold and make our way upstairs to continue the tour.
