Jake had done the best he could. The bed wasn't broken too badly after Neytiri's sudden return to her usual body - a few slats had broken during the whole thing, but whether it was from Neytiri becoming Na'vi once more or the flailing about that had occurred afterwards was up for debate - but they'd decided to get rid of the bedframe and just use a couple of mattresses instead. And Jake wasn't going to drag Neytiri back from the forest after she'd been forced to stay out of it for a week just to help him shift some bits of furniture about. So, he'd done what he could. He'd stripped their mattress of bedclothes, and the one in the room opposite theirs, and he'd also managed to drag their mattress off the bedframe. Just about. The slats had all been collected up and left in a pile in the corner of the room, broken and whole ones, and he was trying to work out how he'd dismantle the rest of the bed and move those parts out of the way without falling out of his chair or injuring himself, when he decided to ask if anyone could lend a hand. This wasn't something like getting to the beach, which he was more than capable of, this was getting into "Things are on high shelves" levels - he physically couldn't do it.
He hated having to ask for help, so after a long period of thinking things over, he decided to owe someone a favor instead. Much easier to deal with in the long run, and he felt a fuckload better when it was Dan who replied first. The man understood how he felt, possibly better than anyone else on the whole island. Tucking his phone between his legs, Jake went into the kitchen and started making coffee for them both, replying on the network as he did so, and more than glad for something that he knew he could do while he waited on Dan showing up.
