"Oh, tolerably, tolerably. I wouldn't dare complain." Andrei's eyebrows quirk wryly, and he lets the electricity snap off, pulling a roll of electrical tape out of his pocket to cover the new burnt spot in the insulation. "It's lovely to see you, Cal, but are you sure you should be out and about tonight? Poor Mr. Andrews was mugged for his groceries this morning..."
And Henrich Andrews is taller than Andrei, ten years younger, and nearly twice as broad in the shoulders. The Underground's blackout is encouraging all of the worst of the local petty criminals.
Frankly, Heinrich is lucky to have gotten away without losing any particularly high-ticket body parts.
Electrical tape repair finished, Andrei tucks the roll back into one of his dozen coat pockets and produces a small rechargeable battery pack from another. The plug on his LED lights is just barely within reach, if he stretches one arm to its limits-- but he's got a potential helper on the balcony now, doesn't he?

"Can you hand me the plug? Much obliged!"
