A... contract?

[ Whoa, talk about formal roommate agreements. ]

I don't have a lot of things to begin with. I'll try not to make a mess.

Let's see... I don't sleep very much. Do you need specific quiet hours so you can sleep well?

Not so literally - a turn of phrase, in this case, more than anything else.

[ although he'd take it literally, being who he is. ]

I'm much the same. Early to rise, but late to bed, for the most part. If you find yourself looking for someone to share the peace and quiet of night with, I've found that there's decent tea in the kitchen now.

So far, it seems like we're a good roommate match.

I don't drink a lot of tea, but that sounds like a nice way to spend a night. I'd usually look up at the stars, but I'm not sure you can see them from here...?

Mm, I'm not certain. We'll have to see for ourselves tonight, I imagine, what the passage of time might be. Some tea and the night sky does sound like an excellent way to spend time getting to know one another though.

[ making a mental note to himself about that. ]

What else... I've never shared a space with someone in such a way. [ thinks... ] Should you like to decorate any, I won't mind.

[ They get to look at the night sky!!! And the stars! ] We can start tonight and see what the sky does.

As for decoration... It'd be nice to keep some plants.

[ unfamiliar stars (at least for peepaw, firefly travels in space that's normal) but STILL STARS!! ] I will see what sort of tea I can brew up, then, and we'll learn together.

Plants... hm, yes, it would liven things up. Perhaps save a few of the pots in the lobby from being unearthed again.

[ Stars!!! It's not like Firefly could pick out specific constellations anyway. She's simply not the navigator. ]

Alright. They're already full of dirt, they just need some seeds to go in them. I'll go get one now.

[ But before she goes, she picks out a silvery thing out of her box. ]

Then it would only be a matter of finding seeds. Cultivating from the plants already here could be doable...

[ pondering, as he very carefully take his golden scarf-wrapped egg out of the box to set on his pillow. but the silvery thing catches his eye. ]

Your possession from home, Miss Firefly?

Yes, it is.

[ And she refuses to go anywhere without it. ]

Then I will take care to ensure it goes undisturbed when it's in the room.

[ said with a nod, before he settles his squishmallow against the egg to keep it warm and upright. ]

Pick whichever pot you would like best, should I not join you before you decide.

Thank you, for the offer. I'll make sure to keep it with me, so you don't have to worry over it.

[ Leaving it anywhere feels unthinkable. ]

Hardly a trouble, but I understand completely. [ he briefly pats the egg, like it's a child, before he reaches out for the vortex vanquisher to bring it with them. ]

There we are. If these eggs are ours to care for, I'm not inclined to leave it unnested.

Do you think they'll hatch?

[ She's too young(?) to be a mother.

They're still warm to the touch, but she really doesn't know anything about the care and keeping. Hers is wrapped with a scarf, but that's as far as she's gone.

She'll wait by the door for him to be ready. ]

Perhaps. They have a certain warmth to them that I believe could be a fertilized egg.

[ he glances at the eggs for a moment before turning to properly join her, gesturing for her to go ahead of him with his free hand. ladies first, young or not. ]

We shall certainly see. There's supplies enough that we can set up something more proper for them to ensure they stay warm.

[ She'll go ahead with the signal. They aren't too far away from the first floor. ]

I saw a few other buildings. Do you know what kinds of things we should get to make sure they can hatch?

[ It sure sounds like he's got more experience than her. ]

Hm... [ thinking about it as they go for the stairs, making sure the door latches behind them so it's not just wide open. ]

The clothing store will at least give us more materials to cushion the eggs with. I'm not sure that the others will offer us much more - we'll have to do some further investigating of our resources.

I heard something about keeping them warm?

[Down the stairs and to the mostly cleaned up mess.]

I wonder who's cleaning up...

[Anyway, at least most of these pots aren't broken.]

Yes. To ensure that the egg has a stronger chance of hatching, warmth is necessary - though best to be careful to not overheat it.

[ he does chuckle at the curiosity, and... ]

I cleaned up the dirt, though I am fairly certain that Charlie - the young lady with the red oni horns - has had quite the hand in the rest.

There's a chance you could accidentally cook it...

[Poor thing.]

There are a lot of responsible people here.

Exactly. Though I have a feeling that some will be attempting it intentionally.

[ can they not. hopefully finding out that it's their souls will stop them. ]

I don't enjoy messes all that much, especially unproductive ones. I'm sure it's that black-haired, blue-eyed young man with the temper doing much of the damage, though.

[ Firefly is neutral to mess, but it's nice when you can get places easily. ]

I did see him tearing through things when we first arrived.

[ productive mess... acceptable. tantrum mess? bad. ]

Mm... this situation is difficult to accept, so I understand his frustration, but I hope that he finds some form of peace. [ he surveys the pots thoughtfully, but she can pick one. ]

That's going to be up to him.

You seem calm about being here.

We shall see.

At the moment, there is naught much else we can do but explore our surroundings. I'm more inclined towards keeping my head, these days, than resorting to my own temper. Still... I am discontent with what's happened.

It's probably better to keep your thoughts clear when you can.

I didn't think I was that close to my death yet. [ Even if it is something that's constantly approaching. ]
