Carrie picking up her life.

Carrie was still smiling as she continued painting her last part.
She turned around facing Concordia with a bit of a chuckle.
“I still want to say, ehm.. it looks good on you.”

Concordia looks a bit crooked at her overall.
“Hrm... I still don't like it.”
She looks around...
“Hey where did Shirie go?”

The girl starts searching for Shiro who seems to have walked back to the bedroom.
“Shirie...?”

Carrie smiles briefly and lays down the roller as she finished a part of the wall with blue paint.
“Hm. don't know where she went.”

“Shirie...?” Concordia walked in the bedroom, she laughed when she noticed Shiro.
Shiro who was walking back and forth through the room mumbling things in Kusarian.
“There you are.”

Shiro tilts her head as she stops and turns around to Concordia. She giggles a bit as she sees the overall.
“What did you do?”
“uhuuh...” She turned back to Carrie.
“Told you it doesn't look, right.”

“It's okay, really.”
Carrie smiled again, she turned around and looked at the painted wall.
'Not as much progress as I wanted but ... expected' she smiled a bit as she looked at the wall.

“Connie, want to go and finish the rest of wall?”
“hrm...” She switched looks between Shiro and Carrie for a moment.
“okay” She said with a smile.

“Don't eat all the cookies, Shiro” Carrie said curt before turning around and picking up a roller.

Concordia and Carrie returned to painting the wall, it went more smoothly then Carrie expected actually. Since Concordia got the hang of it after a few tries. At the end of the day they managed to complete two walls.

Shiro was wandering around the house, sometimes just staring at nothing really specific, while taking a bit from a cookie every now and then.

Carrie looked outside, it was starting to get dark on this part of Manhattan, she shortly checked the time.
“Hmm... it's getting a bit late. I have to clean up a little here before going to bed anyway”

Concordia sat on the floor admiring her painted part. She nodded in satisfaction.
“It looks good, noh?”
“Just like I wanted it to look, Connie. Perfect.”

“Shiro... it's getting late, let's go?” Concordia said as she stood up.
Shiro came walking to Concorida, not really saying much. “We're going?”

Carrie shortly nods.
“Thanks for coming along though. It's erm... is appreciated.”
Concordia smiles. “No problemo, it was funnn...”

Concordia gives Carrie short farewell hug, while smiling. “See you soon”
Carrie nods again in response.

Shiro follows Concordia obedient as she walks out. While they walk in front of the front window Connie waves to Carrie before she disappears out of view.

Carrie walks to the bedroom, letting herself fall onto the mattress, rolling over looking to the roof. She smiles as she feels satisfied with her new home and the current progress, plus having somebody like Concordia around, who never seems to fail in making a laugh and keeping things cheery.
