2 ♪ A homeless Fonist walks the City...

[fortunes_arc]

[It seems like she's gotten a better hang of working the communicator since last post. There's no camera shenanigans this time, at least - just Tear staring dead-straight at it, brushing some hair behind her ear before voicing her point succinctly.]

...it seems best to inquire on the network about how one goes about housing.

[Luke runs a hand through his hair.]

We have a couple of extra rooms. You could stay with me and Asch and Guy... if you want...

[All. The. Babysitting.]

That would be preferable, if possible. [And then quickly clarifies -] I-I mean. Since I'm familiar with yours and Guy's habits, it would be simpler than finding a stranger.

[All the faint blush under her bangs.]

[So nothing she's unfamiliar with.]

R-really? I mean-- yeah, that makes sense! The City doesn't let people live alone. Not without the ticking.

[Luke gets up-- taking his PDA with him, of course-- and goes to one of the empty rooms. Ion's stuff is long since packed and stowed away in case he returns. The sheets and drapes are blank white and what furniture he had is covered up. The room still smells like him, though-- light and airy and a little sweet.

He opens the curtains, letting in the cold winter sunlight through the window.]

I'll talk to the others. ... I don't think they'd mind, as long as you don't sneak up on Guy or anything.

[The room on the other side of the communicator's video is drab and bare, but no less so than her quarters in Yulia City, it seemed. Certainly of a sufficient size for her needs.]

[The blush is still on her cheeks. She's no domestic, and even if she's used to traveling with Luke, sharing at a permanent address is different. What if he doesn't prefer it...]

I doubt that would be an issue. Who lives in the apartments; only you, Guy, and Asch?

[What if he actually grew up in a house full of people and he misses all the noise? Then again, Asch makes up for like ten noisy servants.]

Yeah. Since I've been in the City, there was... Natalia, Ion, Florian, Shing, and even Karkat for a little while. [A touch softer--] They're gone now.

[..Asch doesn't seem like the best roommate. It must be hard on the both of them, living together.]

I see. [A pause.] Whenever it is convenient for you and the others, I can arrive.
