Joly's almost got the finishing touches on the first prototype of his current project when he hears the knocking downstairs.

Not familiar knocking, this time. He picks up the kitten that's fallen asleep on his lap and tucks her over one shoulder. "Who's bothering our rooms at this hour, hmm? Who's coming by and banging on the door?"

...Whoever it is, they're really hammering it down. He heads downstairs as quickly as he can, in the name of residential structural integrity.
