Ric

Ric holds his hands up in surrender and backs a couple steps away from the cabinet for Kat to get at it.

While she works, his eyes wander to the tower of furniture Bob is disassembling. He begins to mention what a shame it is that Bob didn't get a chance to try out his homemade ladder, but then remembers what happened the last time someone fell on this adventure.

He lowers his gaze back over to Kat.

Welcome back, an kobold!

It really is a shame Bob doesn't get to climb his tower -- I can see it clear as day in my head, him teetering there, reaching for the latch and standing on the chair with just one foot as it sways back and forth.
