"Wait-- th' higgledies are missin', or the choc'lates are missin'?" [He'd understood that it was the former, but if the chocolates are missing, Esteban's not so sure he can really help out. It doesn't wipe the grin from his face though, and he pauses at the hand stretched between the both of them. His head shifts a bit to the side, before he catches on, and offers his own in turn.]

"Oh! Name's Esteban! It's nice to meetcha before I made th' wind scatter off yer notes." [He beams again, before nodding at the weather panel, where a happy little sign's been added since the last platform day, double sided and indicating whether the system is currently in use. It had been a close call. He's yet to get it waterproofed, but it'll work for now.]

"I c'n round them up 'f you want. They just wanna play a bit first, right?" [Esteban can get that; while he has a lot of work to get things ready before the spring event, he still thinks it's important to wind down, or he'll be too tired to enjoy the event itself.] "Betcha they're really good at hide-an'-seek."

[His nose scrunches with his amusement. Rather than looking discouraged at the prospect, he seems to look forwards to it at the very least, and if that's one worry off Roland's shoulders, he'll take it. Teamwork! Of a kind?]
