"For anybody who wasn't here when this went down--" Xander, clad in a certain white and blue hardhat that might be familiar to some, jerked his thumb towards the partially-demolished building, speaking loudly over the noise of a drainage pump that was patiently sucking the mucky, muddy water out of what used to be a pretty kickass swimming pool. "That's what happens when you don't have clearly posted safety signage during an invasion."

Oh look, he brought an extra No Rampaging sign. And a post-hole digger.

"It's also what happens when you do have clearly-posted signage," he admitted. "But at least this way you've got a better case if you try to sue the monsters for damages. And this--" He waved his arms at the construction site in general. "--is what happens when we finally run out of room at the MCA and have to get off our butts and build a second apartment building. First law of re-building, though - before you get to the fun stuff, you have to clear away the crap. ...Second law is don't juggle the power tools."

Ah, safety lectures. Just like riding a bicycle. Through a construction site. Without proper headgear. Which you shouldn't do.

[Open like the muddy concrete pit that used to be Logan Echolls' swimming pool! Grad project, but he wouldn't turn down help from anyone inclined to give it.]

Xander pulls his hat off and studies it carefully. "Was I supposed to be worried about that? Is there like, this whole hat...princess... thing I didn't know about?"

"No?" Bridge says. "But you kept..." he reaches up and touches his own hat. "Like you were afraid it'd disappear or something."

"Oh." Pause for more hat-studying. "Like that couldn't happen around here?"

"Point," Bridge says. "Also, I have to admit... it's really kind of cute."

"That I've been touching my hat?" Xander asks, amused.

"And being all smile-y when you do," Bridge clarifies. "I'm a fan of Xander-smiles."

"You're a dork." Yes, he's living dangerously, considering he doesn't have any cupcakes on him. "You do that with your ring, you know."

"Really?" Bridge asks, because he honestly hadn't noticed.

"Really." Not that Xander had intended on pointing it out, since that might mean Bridge would stop doing it.

"Oh," Bridge ducks his head and gives a somewhat sheepish smile.

"That wasn't exactly a complaint."
