[ Silence, even despite being the one to bring it on, is something he discovers he still dislikes. This isn't a comfortable one like the many they've sat together in over the years; it's anything but. It's too much of a chance for half-started and mostly abandoned thoughts to keep whirling around his mind without any resolution for them while they work even though he's told himself his only focus should be getting out of here.
If only it was that easy. Instead it leaves more time to think about how things could be different even as he makes no attempts to change that. When she speaks he looks over for long enough to see what she wants as he then follows where her hand is pointing. ]
Sure.
[ It's a ways up there, but nothing that's not doable even if he's curious about why this box specifically. That'd require asking and rather than that, Claude places one foot on the lowest shelf to test how sturdy it is. Fairly so, given that it doesn't shift even when he places more weight on it. That's all he needs to climb up it before testing the next one in the same way, and then he's much closer to grabbing it.
Being up quite a bit higher than the floor requires wrapping an arm around the support beam since he's not trying to go crashing to the floor, and Claude stretches out his other hand to tug the box closer for a better grip on it. Whatever contents are in it seem to weigh less than the container - which is good news for him as he pulls it off the shelf before peering below since this would go faster with help. ]
Think you can climb up a shelf to grab this? Just one of them.
