[ call or text Reim within! I was going to set up a voicemail inbox message but then I realized no one is ever going to hear it unless he’s unconscious or dead. it doesn’t matter if you call at 3am he’ll pick up. ]

[ he definitely can’t hide the way he briefly startles, but it is brief. he is getting used to the monster stuff. it’s not as bad as Break’s, ]

Very well, but this is more of a trick I learned to use while traveling. I’ll instruct you on proper ironing later today, if you have the time.

[ arranges the shirt and waistcoat so they hang neatly from the curtain rod, out of the path of the shower spray, and then steps past him to close the door ]

Just hang them neatly to keep from creating extra creases, then leave them to steam for ten minutes. It would be better if we had hangers on hand- you should keep these hung up whenever you aren’t wearing them, too. There are plenty in the costume shop.

[He can forgive the startling because it was brief and Reim didn't say anything. That's a reasonable and respectful level of surprise. Good ol' Reim.]

Okay. And... Yeah, I guess I'm not doing anything today.

[He says, because he hasn't actually gone outside and seen the library yet.]

[ takes off his glasses and tucks them in his waist sash since they’re just getting fogged up as it is ]

Another pathway to a new area has shown up, but I haven’t gone to see where it leads just yet.

I’m glad you have him here with you.

[ Vincent, that is ]

Hmm?

[Oh, right. That's probably who he means.]

...Me too.

[It makes him feel much less alone. But he doesn't want to think about feelings right now, so--]

You wanna go check out the new thing?

After this. And after breakfast. It's out in the common room.

--Oh, right.

[Food. He could go for a lot of food.]

Good, 'cause I'm starving.

[ checks his phone for the time ]

Let me fetch it for us now. You can wait in the bedroom if you prefer.

[ just assuming you're not going out shirtless ]

Yeah, I'm staying in here for now.

[A correct assumption. That would be both rude and embarrassing.]

[ dipping out of the bathroom then, closing the door quickly behind them ]

The steam needs to stay trapped inside, so don't go back in.

[ and heading for his bedroom door to go get the food ]

'Kay, got it.

[Elliot stands very deliberately out of sight from outside the door. The rocks must remain a secret.]

[ GOES TO GET THE FOOD. he can balance two plates on one arm and close the door behind him on his way back in. hands one to Elliot, along with a knife and fork. Idk what he made maybe like an omelet ]

Here you are. Apologies for my inexperienced cooking.

[He has sat down by now, and he happily takes the plate and just goes for it.]

Ehh, you're not a chef but your food's a lot better than the stuff out of boxes! I'm just lucky you're feeding me.

['Cause he's been eating a ton of snacks while making faces about the quality because monster metabolism.]

I'm happy to hear that much, at least. Some of the packaged sweets are quite agreeable, but some are a bit...

[ sitting on the floor to also eat ]

Gross? If that's what the future is like, I'd rather stay "old fashioned".

[He has been called old fashioned by someone so ofc he's taken it as some kind of challenge.]

If you call yourself old-fashioned, I really will start to feel like an old man.

Somebody else said it first! Just 'cause I don't like people telling me about their sex lives out of nowhere! Or trying to talk about mine!

[Somehow this has become a common offence.]

Why are people so blase about that sort of thing......

'Cause the future has no dignity or respect at all! They eat bad food and have no manners and smash instruments at concerts!

They do what?!

[ SCANDALIZED ]

[THANK GOD SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS]

I know! Why would you do that?! The future is a bad place, Reim!

That's so-- ridiculously costly and wasteful, not to mention incredibly disrespectful to the craftsmanship-!! Is this really what our future holds in store?! Who said such a thing??!

Roy Harper!

[ HOW COULD YOU ROY HARPER ]

Did... did he participate?

PROBABLY!

[Truly his biggest crime, if so.]

No.

[ he is so disturbed by this he has forgotten about the clothes ]
