There is some measure of trust here, a small piece of a long-dead history handed off to Richard. Maybe Ellis should tell him it doesn't much matter; who cares to know what a dead man once occupied his time with?
The base of the coop fits neatly into the corner. Ellis scuffs a foot in the dirt beside it thoughtfully, thinking of trees.
"It seems I still have a knack for it," Ellis continues, before beckoning Richard over. "Stand in the middle of the base. Here. We can get the back wall in place before I hammer down the mesh."
His tone is patient. Richard is doing him a favor. The alternative is dragging Fitz out of the library, and Ellis doesn't quite trust him or Tony not to make the coop more complex than it needs to be.
