“When am I moving in?” she mused aloud, still looking around appraisingly. “If it was up to Wood, I would have moved in yesterday, but I’ll move in when it’s possible, and I have my things packed up, if that suits you.” She stopped and looked up at him. “Where will I be living?”

"That's what I want for the people who live here too. We all contribute, we all take ownership and it becomes ours. Fleur and Dennis are two of my best friends and Oliver is a fine bloke. For the most part we all get along and we hang around together." He smiled wanly. "Living here got me through alot of lonely times when Fleur and Dennis arrived. Changed my life."
"Well, come back next week and you can choose any of the five open flats remaining. They're all brand new and refurbished, wood floors, new appliances and all have a lovely view." Taking her hand, he smiled. "I think you'd fit right in here."

“I remember Dennis from school, but he was so much younger than me, that I never really had anything to do with him,” she said, still holding Dean’s hand as they were looking out over the dance. “And you know about me and Oliver already so that should come as no surprise. But Fleur… she’s really surprised me in a good way, and I’m glad I’ve gotten to know her. Hopefully I’ll get to know her better when I move here.” She chuckled and looked up at him. “I’ll drop by next week… Tuesday or Wednesday I think would be the best bet, since I don’t think they are too booked up, but uhm… should I bring my stuff, or wait until later?”

"He's a great guy. You should get to know him." He nudged Alicia. "He makes biscuits too. Real good biscuits." Nodding his agreement of her assessment, he replied. "They're both good people but I notice that not too many others give Fleur a chance since she's so pretty. Glad to see you gave her a chance but it's no surprise since you're so pretty too."
"You are eager." Dean's eyebrow raised before he smiled. "How about I come over and help you move before I show you a place then?"

She looked down and sighed softly. “Actually, the reason I gave Fleur a chance hasn’t got anything to do with how I looked. It has to do with me seeking her out to let her know that I would pretty much hex her pert French arse six ways till Sunday if she ever hurt Oliver in any way.” She looked up at him again. “Turned out she had issues of her own, and that we had more in common than I had ever thought, and that’s how we got to talking.”

"Well, you're pretty too. But that is good. She's a good person, just like you. It seems the two of you would get along." He leaned in closer. "But when she gets a few drinks in her, the French accent really comes out. You can barely understand her, so just nod along. That works for me."

“Oh well, we’ll figure it out when it happens.” She took a moment to remember what it was he had asked her, and at one point even looked questioningly up at him. “Where do I live now? That’s what you asked me. I still live in River Place, 5A, I’m sure you know where that is.” Looking up at him again, she shrugged. It wasn’t Dean’s fault that his best friend was a bastard, who just happened to be living in the flat directly below her. She sure wasn’t going to hold that against him.

"Ah, right." In the excitement of her moving in, Dean had forgotten where she'd lived. He became a bit fidgety as he remembered Alicia and Seamus' relationship along with the implications of that. "I'd never been to your place but I've seen the flats. Most of them needed some type of work." Dean smiled nervously and added. "Well, we'll get you out of there soon."

He reached out and took her hand, squeezing it once. "Of course, you get a free membership to everything and surely Dennis will be feeding you and providing smoothies too. The man can cook."
"Are you really?" He smiled. "Then you're the official bartender of Hammerside. It's a weighty responsibility but I think you'll be up to it. You've got gumption." Looking around, he saw a few people he should speak to and then glanced at Alicia. "I think I need to get around and meet some people. But I can come down to your office and we can run up and see the flats this week if you want."

"As soon as possible, okay?" Dean replied and then felt the need, so he hugged her. "I'm really looking forward to you being here." Smiling, he added. "Any flat you want."

"Handsome host? Must be someone else you're looking at." He commented and then straightened his tie. "Now, responsible administrator, I can agree to." He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek before he smiled. "See you later, love."
