[Taryon zips back to the roof and collects every single streamer in his arms. One falls off the pile and onto the garden as he flies to Tsurumaru.]

Here! Quick! There are all of them left!

[He holds one out for the taking, then descends lower in an attempt to tie the koi onto the pole with one hand. It's rough when he has the added weight of the remaining fish to carry.]

[cranekin]

(He's trying to keep up but there really are too many for them to stream. There's unraveling them, untangling them, and ultimately, there's no real way to finish but that's fine, he thinks. As he begins to lower after typing one last set to a line.

He still has a pile in his hands but looking up... it's colorful, it's eye-catching, it's a change of scenery to a place that would otherwise look the same and isn't that good enough for now?)

Ah... we were so close.

[likemybooks]

[Taryon tries to tie the last one as the spell withers away, and he's left clinging onto the twine while he sinks to the ground. A loose string flutters in the wind by one child koi.

He picks up the streamers that were left over.]

Let's find someplace else to hang them. There's no rule we can't hang from from the roof garden fence, right?

[cranekin]

Anywhere is fine! As long as they're seen so people can enjoy them.

(Gathering up the last few and coming over to walk alongside him,)

The ones we managed to hang look impressive though, right?

[likemybooks]

[Taryon cranes his head to check the entire flagpole from bottom to top. Apart from some quick and not-so-neat tying, the colorful flags are beautiful.]

It reminds me of festivals back home...

[He adjusts his grip on the spare streamers. The imposing facade of the base is more welcoming with a friendly collection of animal decorations.]

[cranekin]

Just like home!

(The home he remembers, at least.)

Ah, I think everyone will enjoy the surprise when they see them.

[likemybooks]

Oh, certainly. We should hang stuff up like this more often. [He stands there, admiring their work for a few more minutes before turning away.]

I'll go hang these up on the gardens.

[cranekin]

I'll help!

(It's not like they have a bunch to hang but...)

Ah, and thank you for helping me earlier.

(To hang the ones up high over the garden.)
