Sakura snorted at his statement, returning his bow of the head with one of her own. The ground was safer? Not really, not when people did move on the rooftops. His help had been kind and polite, but hardly necessary -- if she guessed that was the point. A stranger had no reason to know she would have been fine either way.
Leaning down to pick up the tile, she walked it back over toward a part of the roof that could hold it in place. Slat tiles didn't go missing in the same way shingled did from roofs back home, but she figured if the homeowner ever got up here, they'd appreciate having more to work with rather than less.
Ah, but she hadn't answered his question. Sakura half turned and flashed him a smile and a thumb's up, wondering if the gesture meant anything to him. All these people from all these worlds and times understood different things. I'm fine, is a lipped statement afterward, if she'd not made a move to get down to street level.
In fact, keeping half her attention on the man, she's looking out over the next few rooftops. Looks like fairly clear running up here, for now.
/and I am forever late my apologies!
