[ This place... is so big. Wolfwood is comfortably squashed on the couch with Vash, expression straight as they just wait. He is not smoking because he is being somewhat polite since Genshin universe seems a bit more strict about it than some mega-sandy boonies.

It's so very green and bright in here, and No Man's Land is only one of those things. ]

Didn't know the place you were stayin' was this huge.

[ Rich people... ]

[piteous]

[ leans over to whisper: ]

I think this might be normal... The other houses looked about the same size when we were walking down the street.

[crucifer]

Eugh.

[ MAKES A SLIGHT FACE. Imagine this being normal. This is me whenever I return to LA and I remember how big and wide American homes are. ]

[piteous]

[ Thinking... ]

We can probably build a house this size.

[crucifer]

Why would you want to?

...Do you want to?

[ Squinting... would they even know what to do with all of this room? The greenery is nice but they don't have it. ]

[piteous]

[ Oh. He didn't think this far into it. ]

I mean—I'm not saying we have to? Just that we can...?

[crucifer]

Where would we even set up something like that?

[ TOO AMBITIOUS PERHAPS. The thought is nice but maybe they should consider small first, and also their budget. And also whether they're really going to settle down at all. ]

[piteous]

[ Why are you playing the guy who's doing logistics now? Vash's eyes widen, owlish and caught off-guard, as he has to battle these REAL QUESTIONS. He sips some wine as a filler. ]

I... Guess somewhere close to home?

[crucifer]

[ HE'S REALISTIC. And still hasn't come around to the idea of settling quite yet.

Home...

He just sits here drumming fingers absently on the couch, staring off and thinking about it. ]

[piteous]

[ And Vash is watching him, flummoxed that he's taking this semi-seriously when it was just an observation. They could potentially build a house this size! They have some construction experience!

Bites into this weird-looking peach. ]

We don't have to...

[ Reiterating so it can stick somewhere, maybe pass through his thick skull. ]

[ohthehumanities]

Trust me, it's not nearly big enough when your housemate is insufferable.

[AND SPEAK OF THE DEVIL, there he is.]

[crucifer]

Is that any way to talk about the guy who's paying your rent?

[ TO BE FAIR. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[OI]

I pay rent! [sometimes]

[crucifer]

How do you make your money?

[ IS THIS A PAYING JOB? ]

[ohthehumanities]

I'm an architect! I don't work for free! [Sometimes he does]

[crucifer]

You look like you would... you made all those schematics for us without us even really askin'.

[ So... ]

[ohthehumanities]

That's different. [For like, a thousand reasons, but the easiest one is--] I get paid to design buildings, not any of those things.

[crucifer]

Did you design this one?

[ohthehumanities]

This boring place? Absolutely not. I've barely managed to salvage the interior, no thanks to him. [ALHAITHAM.] It was already built while I was in school, anyway. Most of the buildings in the city were, which is why they're all so standardized.

[piteous]

He's what now?

[ this escaped him in the underground. ]

[crucifer]

I think it's like that.

[ Just says shit. ]

[piteous]

... Does that mean Alhaitham's actually nice?

[ Why are they talking about this dude in front of his salad. ]

[crucifer]

Whoa, what's scholar been tellin' you that gave you that kinda reaction?

[ Really being like Kaveh said Alhaitham sucks in front of their salads. ]

[piteous]

Covering rent sometimes is objectively nice unless he's extorting Kaveh for...

[ What does Kaveh offer. Vash sneaks a peek at him before turning back to Wolfwood. ]

Interior... Decorating?

[crucifer]

It's his place. I don't think you can extort someone into decorating your place for you.

If anything, most people don't like it when you go ahead and put shit up in their place without askin'.
