"A handful of times." Artemy shrugs, "Not so much in town, people are rather stationary there, but living in the Capitol, students would need help with housing, moving in and out. I would pitch in when need be."
He sweeps up, and then, with that done, he begins to haul the carpet outside. At least if it's out on the front step, it'll be easier to load.
"I'll have to call for a cart." He thinks out loud. "Is this better?" He asks Pyotr, looking over his work. The apartment floor is now clean, carpet-less, and furniture-less.
"Much," Pyotr agrees, surveying the space. "I can work with this." Stripped to the floorboards like this, it closely resembles his flat in Town-on-Gorkhon -- minus the boarded-up windows of course, which he is not planning to replicate. He picked this apartment because of the natural lighting, actually.
"Thank you. I'd never been able to accomplish all this by myself, certainly not so quickly."
Artemy gives a nod. It feels weird, just a week or so ago, they were at each other's necks. Now he was here, he had rearranged the man's apartment, and was even being thanked for it. But he knows that in order to belong to a community and convey the values you think it has, you can't be exempt from it.
And he is determined to prove that Pyotr has a place here, even if he doesn't like him. His like or dislike of him is irrelevant here.
"Certainly, think nothing of it." He says, and he truly means it.
