"That was kind of her." He was looking back up at the tree house as he spoke. It had been well made, Robin could see the lengths his friend had gone to, to have gotten this done in two weeks. He appreciated the gesture greatly, for what it was. He knew he did not always give Much the acknowledgement for his friendship and loyalty that he deserved. And Much was owed so much for all that he did. A truer friend Robin doubted anyone could boast having.
He turned back to face him when he spoke, grinning at his words, despite the way he'd said it. "It does. How long have you been planning this?" He had fond memories of their time spent as children, playing in the forest. Convincing Much to climb trees when he'd wanted to keep both feet firmly planted on the ground. It had been a time before things had gotten complicated, harder. Before the weight of responsibility had fallen on his shoulders and taken away their time for such simple, innocent fun.
"It was a brilliant idea, my friend." He took hold of the rope ladder, climbing it easily until he was able to look in through the door. Though he'd been unsure about the shoes Lydia had helped him pick out, they did make this sort of thing even easier. Even if he'd had no issue with it before. He let go with one hand, leaning back to look down at his friend still on the ground. "And you really did this all yourself?"
