Mara nodded with a smile at being right. “And it's less than that… that's good. I don't think I have anything as long as that stick.” she admitted since she figured something with a seam would be more noticeable.

"I'll look for something, then, to see if it will work." Darius sighed some, not even sure if he had any scrap cloth that big either. He'd have to look for a bit.

“Ok.” she nodded again. “I’ll see what I can get set up on my end.” Mari smiled excitedly. Oh! I need another tack. she realized as she headed over to grab her hook.

With a hum of acknowledgment, Darius moved back into his room. He pulled out his scraps bin, sorting through to try to find something they could use.

After Darius had left the room, Mara aimed at a piece of wood above the hole and threw her hook. It took a couple tries before she deemed it safe enough to climb but once it was, she picked up the rope and nail and carried them up her climbing cord to the wood platform.

Darius hummed some as he continued, several pieces of cloth by his side as he looked for something that could hide the hole well enough. He thought he had found something, but he wasn't sure if it was big enough, standing from his spot on the ground to go check.

Mara was normally a fast climber but she was slowed a little by holding onto the other objects. Once she made it to her destination, she set down the nail and carefully secured one end of her rope to a corner above the hole. Turns out there wasn't much she could actually do without the fabric.

"Hey, Mara," Darius said, coming back over to the hole and holding the piece of fabric up, "Do you think this will work?"

“One moment.” she called before sliding down her rope to look at the fabric. “Yeah, that should work pretty good.” Mara smiled at him, dangling in the middle of the hole almost like a spider.

Darius nodded, smiling a bit as he watched Mara hang in the hole.
"Need some help hanging it up?" He offered.

Mara nodded a little, still smiling. “Sure. I just need to get back up there.” she told Darius before quickly climbing out of immediate sight. “Ok. Hand me a corner.”

Darius nodded, waiting for the good to go before pushing the fabric corner up for Mara to grab. He was smiling himself, a small hum coming out.

Mara grabbed the offered corner and folded it a couple times to keep it from tearing but not so much that it took away from the length needed. She then took the folded corner and pushed the nail through it… The hard part, for her, would be putting the nail in place in the wall. “Hey, Darius. How well can you reach in here?” she asked since she knew he was much stronger than her.

Darius shifted some, still holding the fabric on the other end so it wouldn't fall.
"Well, let's see." He maneuvered his second hand in, thumb going up to on top of the nail.
"Need me to push it in?"

Mara held the nail in place when she saw him reach in. “Yes, please.” she confirmed, moving out of the way once his thumb was on top. “Whenever you're ready.” she said as she held the rest of the fabric so it wouldn't get caught or tangled up.

Darius nodded, beginning to push the nail in. It was a bit of work, but it wasn't too hard for him to do. He hummed softly, making sure the nail was nice and secure before pulling his thumb away.
"Is that good?"

“Yeah. Looks good.” Mara called back when she saw the nail was in snugly. She dropped the extra fabric, letting it fall before heading to the other side. “Ok. Can you hand me the other corner?”

"Sure thing!" Darius moved to offer Mara the other corner of the fabric, chuckling a bit as he did. It was strange, to think of how much harder this simple task would have been for Mara without him. He didn't think Mara was helpless, but he found it damn cute.

“Thank you.” Mara said as she took the other corner. This job definitely would have been harder for her without his help, especially on finding the fabric. She slid out a needle and some sewing thread she grabbed earlier and started stitching the rope into a pocket she made in the new corner.

"You're welcome." Darius watched Mara's work as best he could, intrigued by it. He couldn't help but want to watch the woman, she just- so cute! She was so cute, he just couldn't help it.

Mara could feel his eyes on her but just smiled as she finished the first pocket. “How’s the curtain look so far?” she asked, letting the fabric fall in place so her home was hidden.

Darius looked over the curtain with a scrutinous eye, then smiled. "It looks good! So long as no one comes too close, it'll blend in well."

"Good." Mara chirped with a hint of pride for their work. "I've just got to stitch up one more pocket so I can pull this back when we're alone." she told him, already climbing down a little less than halfway.

"Great!" Darius grinned, stepping back a moment to examine the curtain further. "I'm glad this turned out as well as it did, it should help a lot."

“I hope so.” Mara agreed as she started sewing again. If Darius looked closely, he would be able to see little flashes of metal from her work. “But I’m glad it looks good so far.”
