Same, [he says around a mouthful of fruit and eggy bread. He chews, swallows.] I mean that I sleep well when you're here, not...
[A weak gesture with his hand to indicate you know what I mean as he picks up his mug and drinks with the other.] When I was a kid, we just had two beds. And there were seven of us, so.
[ Somehow, that hadn't occurred to her as an option. She blinks at what's left of her food, then looks at Colin. He wouldn't joke about this, would he? No. ]
Maybe.
[ It wouldn't be disagreeable, but there's some little feral instinct clutching at the idea of having something of her own, of being in close proximity to other people in the Gallows, even if she would rather not live in a refitted prison.
She smiles, and brushes through his hair with her fingers. ]
[ Another point against it, though: having servants. Having support staff at the Gallows makes sense, considering how vast it is and how many people are there, but here there'd be only two.
It'd be a lot more work to drop in on anyone, but it'd also make it harder for anyone to drop in on her, which isn't always a downside.
As soon as her breakfast is finished, Athessa lays back and gets comfortable again, minding the table so it won't get jostled by her wriggling. ]
I dunno if I could handle living in the lap of luxury very long. I'd probably get lazy. Maybe even go soft around the middle.
Could always send the bath salts and perfumes and all to Lexie's house. Take sandpaper to the furniture. Actually we can't do the last one, it's Lexie's furniture.
[ It is perhaps a dangerous sort of comfort, when you forget the restrictions imposed by society at large. Of course Colin wouldn't be able to own this apartment on his own. ]

Boys have to sleep alone.
[ She even sounds like she understands. ]

Anyway. I'd got pretty accustomed to sleeping alone after I went to the tower, but this way feel like home. Childhood.
no subject
Mm, yeah. I don't think I ever fully got used to it. Probably why it takes so long for me to fall asleep back at the Gallows.

I'll think about it, definitely.

Good. I'd adore having you.
[It gets a bit lonely, living all by himself. Even the servants are often gone by the time he gets home.]

Maybe not but I kinda wish my butt would. It'd be nice to have some cushion when I fall.
