It's a house but is it home?
She looked over the papers in her hand and chuckled softly, Mog, also sitting at the table, chuckled as well. "It's just...odd," she admitted. "This still feels like Sannish's house you know? I don't feel right renting it out just because we got talked into a bigger place..." Beach strip or no, the larger house was a hell of a fixer upper.
"Kuuu-po?"
"I'll look it over more in the morning okay?" It'd be the best way to offset the costs of taking on the new house, even with her savings it had been a bit of a panic inducing moment, but it still...didn't feel right.
Sannish would laugh at her. For a minute she honestly considered calling the Territories just to ask permission. Annnnd then he'd laugh. The man was Merchant Prince in the best sense of the term, he'd tell her to use the property wisely.
"Kupo pu po?"
"Yeah, go ahead Mog, I'll finish packing up the kitchen here then go to bed myself." She gave her friend a hug then watched the moogle bob off down the hall then hitched herself up on to the counter to reach the highest shelves. Hmmm, counters. She was going to add longer counters and more work space in the new house when she fixed up the kitchens. She liked sitting on counters so obviously there needed to be more of them.
Somehow she'd assumed some day she might outgrow the personal ideas about how furniture should be used, but since the boys hadn't, well, she didn't have to yet. That was her reasoning anyway. Right, back to what she was doing. Packing. And not letting her hands shake. It was such a stupid reason to wake up with nightmares huh?
But she'd had nightmares. She hadn't slept through a night in the past week as the house paperwork was signed and rental debate had arisen; it was a relief to go to work in the morning these days. Mog was worried, bless her fuzzy little bobble, and they were both trying not to just scream at the walls and throw things in boxes at this point. How they'd amassed so much stuff in the few months since transferring to town was beyond.
Granted, a chunk of it was the synthesis anvil and forge that Mog's parents INSISTED she had to have. Every moogle on their own did! And a chunk of it was the furniture people kept dropping by as a 'welcome home and we know you'r eon your own now...' even though the small house came furnished.
Furnished to KATZU STANDARD no less! Most of the heavier furniture was coming to her new place, for Dilan and anyone who visited from the territories; plus there was just something comforting in being able to curl up entirely in an arm chair some days. Still, there was just....stuff. So much stuff. What happened to the days when she had a few duffle bags and was good to go?
Oh, right, she'd been a tiny kid then. Right right.
Speaking of...the boys would be almost as good as talking to Sannish, right? She glanced at the clock then hit the speaker on her phone. She'd aim for the lounge in the labs first, they were probably there or just getting ready to leave by this point in the day.
If they were going home. She didn't like how often lab work for them turned into 'and then I emerged three weeks later'. So, yes, best to ring the area closest to a coffee pot. "This is the badged wonder calling braniacs," she trilled when she heard the machine roll over, she almost missed the tone by having her head up in a cupboard but hey, at least she had something to say?
"Pick up pick up pick up if you're there gentlemen..." Or not. Hey, maybe they actually made it home tonight? Well then. "Alright, elsewhere. CLICK CLICK BYE!" She wrapped a few more glasses then hit the button for the boy's flat.
Ah, but what if they were actually out on a date? It was...a weekend wasn't it? She didn't really keep track anymore since she and Mog covered most the oddball shifts currently. Hmmm, yeah, a weekend. "Hey, calling those currently unoccupied!" she chirped at that machine. "Just..yeah. I'm up. I'm...staying up. It's that kind of night. Call back whenever." She didn't want to ring their cells really, not for something silly. Besides, she kinda wanted them both on speaker and that was iffy with cells.
A few more hours and if she hadn't heard from them she would call the territories. Or wait until she could have coffee with Elcy and Yinsi in the morning. Yeah, that seemed like a good backup plan.
