( I AM GOING TO RUDELY ASSUME THE ANSWER IS YES because boom, ACTION.
Ruby has managed to carry (not drag) a Very Very Large item over, although just what it is is obscured from view. It's draped in some draft paper she borrowed from the undercroft and probably has to return, just enough to hide it away, although an ornate wooden frame still peeks through.
Instead of knocking, given that her hands her full, she calls out: ) Delivery for Merrill?
( Those jokes probably don't translate when you don't have UPS or whatever. Huh. )
They may not have UPS, but they do have letters. Not that Merrill has ever gotten much mail in her life, but there's still a delighted gasp as she scrambles up to meet Ruby. ]
( And she laughs, startled and kind of delighted. Merrill. )
It sure is. Here, it's all yours.
( Holding it out carefully, and maybe just... setting it on the ground, actually, because Merrill is tiny and looks like she might topple over if she tried to pick this thing up. )
I... ( well, that's a question. Or a statement, but one that invites questions. ) I care more about the people in my life than I do about whatever specific location I'm in. Let's put it that way.
( It's hard to figure out. )
Thanks. ( She's relieved, actually, that Merrill likes it. ) Do you want a hand hanging it, or do you want it just kind of hanging out on some furniture?
I think I'll just prop it up against something, maybe? I've been thinking about maybe seeing about building aravels, so I might be moving things anyway.

Oh! It's- an object!
[ yes thank you merrill ]

So careful that she's trying not to rip the paper, which is- taking a bit. ]
no subject
( Quiet; conspiratorial. ) You can just rip it.
( Ruby is not impatient but oh my god she is sort of a little bit )
no subject
[ Merrill blushes slightly, but- she does, in fact, rip it.
And- ]
Oh, what a lovely painting! Who is it?
no subject
( she says, rather proud of herself despite the fact that all she did was get whacked in the freaking head with it, ) \
Is Ziggy Stardust. It came through a Rift, and I thought you'd like it.
no subject
[ Is that a normal thing to say about a man? Whatever, applicable. ]
Are you sure?
no subject
( praise be to those cheekbones )
Yeah, of course! I figured the only reason it had to come on through the Rift was because you liked his legend so much.
no subject
Thank you so much. Come and visit him any time you'd like.
no subject
( She's being absurd. Maybe it's mean to be absurd around Merrill, though. )
Really? ( bro bruh y so cute though ) I might have to take you up on that. Get inspired.
no subject
[ She doesn't want to be selfish about it. ]
Of course! You're always welcome.

no subject
[ There's a quick pat to one of Ruby's hands. ]

no subject
Aravels? Aren't those the moving--
( :[ ) Are you leaving?
no subject
[ A flashed smile. ]
But if we all do have to leave, it'd be nice not to have to move a great deal of things.
no subject
( Friends don't leave her okay :C :C : )
Yeah, that's.... smart. That's good, actually.
( Her brow furrows. ) You preparing in case what happened at Haven happens again?
no subject
Well... or something like it. I just- there are a lot of us here, now, and we've been doing an awful lot to make Corypheus angry.
