[There was a loud purring, Dapplewhisker's face and the pokémon inspired catnip toy she had in her mouth. Turo moved the phone back to show that the large cat was draped over his shoulders; with of course Mariposa -with a few of her pups that were still with them- running around, following in behind Dojima there in the background as the man was gathering a few last small items into a box.

The room was... empty, walls bare.]

Ah, I just wanted to make a quick little announcement for those of you familiar with the apartment where Dojima and I have been living—we will no longer be found here.

We are actually moving, as you can probably see and guess, to a house. It will be closer to Cosmo Conservatory for ease of travel, given how much time is spent there between us as is. A much bigger space as well, which will be nice.

[Ah, home ownership—]

That's all. Do have a good day.

[Kaveh is practically sparkling with excitement.]

Congratulations. If you happen to need an interior designer, I'd be happy to help--consider it a gift.

[fractales]

Given the size of the space? The help would be welcome, honestly.

[Prrrp! says Dapplewhiskers as if in aggreement, still there on Turo's shoulders.]

[empyrean_mirror]

And of course, I'd be happy to design things with you in mind too, Dapplewhiskers.

[Kaveh laughs brightly.] I can send you some images of the things I've done here, but if there are specific touches you or Mr. Dojima want to replicate from your home worlds, please let me know and I can incorporate them no problem.

[fractales]

All the more to ensure she's just as happy there as anywhere else she goes.

[Petting her as she was keeping hold of that catnip toy still; making sure they weren't forgetting that.]

What would come to mind is spaces for books; I tend to keep copies of various ones, along with just notes and sketches or journals for my own work. I can of course have Dojima send anything later; he is making sure we don't forget anything. [While young dogs are underfoot, and Bundle-] I do appreciate it, truly.

[detectiveforhierophant]

[At some point during the conversation, Dojima got a tap on his shoulder, the shellphone being offered to him. He had heard most of the conversation from Kaveh, so he had a soft, if slightly sheepish smile on his face.]

Still awfully generous of you to do this, Kaveh. It's ...appreciated.

[He was looking in the box for the last thing he put in there... Ah. Okay, this should help.]

I don't exactly have a lot of experience with house design, and don't have the best ability to describe things, but. I think I can use something to show what I mean.

[empyrean_mirror]

Consider it a very extensive housewarming gift, if you like.

[Kaveh leans a little closer to the phone, curious.]

Oh? Is it something from home?

video: un:detectiveforhierophant

[detectiveforhierophant]

In a way, yeah. Okay, let me...

[Just... going to prop up the phone on the desk, making sure it was rested somewhere easily, with Dojima sitting infront of it, placing down-- A dark crystal ball? Getting it close to the screen as he could.]

This is a memory scryglass. It lets you see the places from your memories, even different worlds. I don't really know how to describe my home well, but with this I should be able to show you what I'm thinking of. If this doesn't work over the Shellphone, I can show you next time I come to the cafe.

[astudyinviolet]

I suppose congratulations are in order. I have noticed a pattern with messages such as these, and so should we expect a marriage announcement forthcoming?

[empyrean_mirror]

[CHOKED WHEEZING SOUND FROM THE FRONT COUNTER.]

not here/action

[astudyinviolet]

[ Sherlock shows no remorse about pointing out the pattern. He is acting as if he is telling someone about footprints. ]

[empyrean_mirror]

[he's blaming your father for your lack of tact.]

voice, never be sorry ✪ ω ✪

[fractales]

[Honestly? Likely a good thing this had been text or Dojima would know why Turo had to duck into the next room; not for double checking for the odd trinket or bauble of theirs, that's for sure.

Calm voice, all the same.]

You have my thanks on that congratulations; the larger space will be welcome for the both of us. I am not sure of that, despite how long we have been living together.

[astudyinviolet]

[ He sees patterns. He point out patterns. ]

It is a common progression of events. I cannot explain the reasoning for it because there does not seem to be direct cause and effect, but it happens too often for it to be merely chance.

[telepathicignorance]

That's pretty great.

(Turo might have noticed that they've been avoiding talking to him in person--no unexpected visits, only shoeing up in certain parts of the Conservatory when they can't sense any minds reacting to his presence--but they make no mention of that, acting as though nothing is amiss at all.)

[fractales]

I will certainly be welcoming the extra space, and having a yard will be something the animals and pokémon will enjoy as well.

No worry of a few of my research projects in the night disturbing neighbors either.

[telepathicignorance]

You could have a whole lab setup.

[scooba]

Does this mean that I should give you a house warming gift?

Voice

[fractales]

Only if you wish to, truly. I know that some do take enjoyment out of doing so, while others see or feel it as obligation.

[scooba]

I think I should. It's the least I can do for when you always help us out.

[tilfrosset]

While I am but a stranger to either one of you, I would be rude of me to not offer my congratulations after hearing this. Purchasing a house is a rather large decision not to be taken lightly, but one to be proud of nonetheless.

[Look at that. Two friends going in on an abode together. For all she knows, they could be roommates. Roommates!]

voice

[fractales]

It is much appreciated all the same. This has been something saved up for over a long period of time, given most of my funds either went to keeping us well fed and comfortable in the apartment or towards Cosmo Conservatory. As well as towards the few animals that live with us, of course.

Reaching the amount needed was rather satisfying given that, and the space that comes with it.

[tilfrosset]

[His answer makes Jill hum softly in a bit of confusion. His funds? Only his funds?]

Did your friend... not contribute to the household expenses?

[Which is Jill is guessing. If this poor man had to carry two mouths, animals, plus a conservatory on his back, he has a better heart than her.]

[withermarked]

Sounds like congratulations are in order? Sounds nice havin' your own place too.

[ Whether or not he's ever been explicitly told they're a couple, nothing about the idea would surprise him. ]

Video

[fractales]

Thank you, and it already has been something of a relief to know we have it. We waited so long simply because we have been content with our living arrangements, but with how forward I look to being fully moved in perhaps it was more than time to do so.

[No worry abut immediate neighbors, far more privacy and being able to do anything they wanted decoration wise. A yard to look forward to as well for the pokémon and animals—

That little Prrp! from the very large cat draped over his shoulders sounded as if she certainly agreed.]

[withermarked]

[ That gets a bit of a chuckle. ]

Yeah, maybe it was.

[ ...And now he's starting to think about whether he really wants to just keep staying in the apartment from when he got here. ]

How are all the critters taking to it? They look pretty happy from here.
