Edited 2023-05-14 16:41 (UTC)

well, now i'm making my way there

[ This Is A Threat. ]

yes dear
[ It's ok, he has True Immortality she can punch him as much as she wants. ]

good
[ This is just how True Immortals show their affection. Obviously.
But to the undertown she goes, and the moment she sees him it's just. On sight. Luckily she's been around him so much that it's easy to spot him - and while there is very, very reluctant relief at seeing a familiar face...
... Well, the fist that meets the side of it is probably expected. It's what he gets for announcing his arrival like a weirdo. ]
I should've guessed you would turn up sooner or later.
[ Hi honey ]

[ To his credit, he makes the effort to double over in an almost cartoonish manner, even though he's perfectly capable of evading it with his honed reflexes. ]
Waugh!
[ He straightens himself up slowly and makes a show of dusting off his shirt. ]
I doubt they [ meaning the Black Order ] would allow us to be apart for too long, regardless.

[ Ugh.
Now that gets a jab in his side for good measure. ]
No, they wouldn't have. [ They can't risk her going berserk, after all. ]
I did at least enjoy the peace while it lasted... Though where will you be staying?

Good question.
[ Nacht's usual sly smile is pasted firmly on his face. Lapis will never be rid of him - their fates are tied together, both in this world and in their original one. ]
The bosses neglected to give me any housing. I do hope you aren't sleeping on the streets either, it will be bad for your complexion, hmm?

[ His smile gets a narrow of her eyes in response, arms folding over her chest. ]
I hope you're not implying something right now. [ Because she always looks cute, how dare. But. Anyway. ]
I have a place of my own. [ Pause. ] And it would probably be easier if you just stayed with me.
[ As if there would be any other option. ]

That would be quite pragmatic, yes.
[ It feels like the order simply expected them to stay together, so Nacht didn't voice any objections. If he had to pick a roommate, he would pick Lapis over anyone else. He's too protective of his own independence to trust others. ]
I do promise to do half the dishes and housework~
[ For all of his unpleasantness, Nacht genuinely means this. He hates restriction, which includes being forced to do someone else's chores, and would not burden Lapis with that. ]

[ And Lapis would pick Nacht over any others - as much as he grinds at her patience, she knows him. And he knows her. There's a trust there that nobody else could ever reach.
And she knows he's being genuine, which is a relief. Especially since domestic skills aren't exactly her specialty... Which is another thing she has Nacht for. So she sighs, not hesitating to take his hand in her own as she leads the way out of the undertown and onto the street proper. It's so second nature at this point that she doesn't even think twice. ]
Yes, yes, I know. Luckily it's not too big, so it's not like there's a lot of chores.
[ Pause, before she narrows her eyes at him. ]
Though if you're really annoying, you're going on the couch.

[ Nacht puts his hands up as if she just accused him of a federal crime. The faked wounded tone in his voice is painfully evident. ]
You'd consign me to the couch?
[ Don't answer that. ]

[ Don't answer that. ]
[ Squints at harder - yeah she's not answering that. She just huffs as she keeps leading the way, though she doesn't let the silence linger. ]
Anyway, I don't know how much you've been told but there's no mission this month. Then it's meant to be more severe next month, so the Guardians already stationed here may be a bit on-edge.
[ Aka "don't be an asshole, Nacht." ]

[ Aka "don't be an asshole, Nacht." ]
[ Is that a challenge? ]
Lovely. Without missions, I suppose I'll have to find my fun some other way.
[ Despite his personality, Nacht takes his work very seriously. It also means that being on the clock is the only thing restraining his 'fun-seeking tendencies', so without work, he's bound to look for something else to keep him entertained. ]

[ DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE NACHT!
Also hmm that sentence sounds dangerous... ]
So long as your fun doesn't get you in trouble. [ Even though it most likely will. ] Maybe you can join me in helping some of the others here start up a garden.
[ She's kidding; her tone drier than usual as she leads him into an apartment building and to an elevator. Up to the top floor they go. ]
Though I'll be starting a college course once the summer is over, so it's up to yourself if you want to do anything like that.

[ A garden and a college course. Both very mundane pursuits, and nothing unexpected. Nacht will respect Lapis' choices, but he would never pick the same pursuits himself. If he wanted to learn something, he would do it at his own pace, not restricted by someone else's schedule. ]
Would they even care about a garden?
Would they even care about a garden?
[ Both mundane, and that's exactly why she's pursuing them. A brief glimpse in something akin to normalcy, before the missions come in once more. Though she won't pressure him into either, of course - Nacht's choices are his own, and that's one thing she wouldn't take from him. ]
Probably not. But it's something to pass the time, and the apartment can only hold so many houseplants. And it'll look nice when it's all grown.
[ If they've ever had to be stationed somewhere for more than a week, Lapis absolutely had a plant or two. Some things will never change.
She perks up when the elevator reaches their destination, stepping out and walking along the hallway before reaching a particular door. After some fishing around in her purse, there's a twist of the key in the lock before she pushes it open.
The apartment is small, enough space for two people and no more, but she's done her best to make it comfortable. It is also a bit of a mess, but in her defence she had no idea he was arriving. ]
It's not much, but it's a roof over our heads for however long we're stationed here.

Hm. I suppose if no one else is interested, I could maybe water them.
[ It's not as if he cares about her interests or anything. Totally.
Nacht follows her into the apartment. He gives the rooms a quick glance - simple, clean, and slightly decorated. Nothing out of the norm. As a housemate, he really only cares about keeping things clean, so he doesn't have any objections. Lapis knows better than to touch his stuff, which is all that matters, really. ]
Did they ever say how long?

And I would be very grateful if you did, Nacht.
[ Even as she turns to head towards the kitchen area, the smile in her voice is clear. Of course he totally doesn't care about her interests.
Now she rummages around the cupboards; she had some extra mugs somewhere... ]
No. From what I know, the team have been here for a few months and more members keep getting stationed here. You, Ayato and me are the newest arrivals.
[ She presents a mug silently to him, a quiet question if he wants anything to drink. ]
