Mm. Should I give you the honors, then? I mean, you're the one who told me about her.
[they're. sometimes good at this, and sometimes very bad at this, and right now not even they are sure where they fall. it's probably fine.]
Besides. I want to let you discuss things on your terms whenever possible.

Of course.
Be well, Ursula. We'll talk more soon. ♥

Ursula! This is Croix!
I wanted to thank you for pointing me in the Kappa's direction. I spoke with them and I am now gainfully employed. It wouldn't have happened without you, so I wanted to give my thanks.

Perhaps we can meet in the middle and settle on "it would have happened more slowly"?
I need to think about finding another place to live, now that I can pay for better than public housing.

I see. I wasn't under any impression that I'd be able to afford something spacious.
...How badly does it affect you?

[Croix felt guilty; she'd essentially been given the red carpet at Luna Nova when she came along with her devices.]
If only there was a way we could help each other.

[ The firs thing that popped into her head honestly... took her a moment to really come back around to. Because of course that was the obvious answer. She'd promised to help Croix as much as she could, so long as Croix really was working towards getting better...
But her apartment was tiny. No amount of saved money would fix that. And what's more, being that close to Croix again, after so long... Yes, she'd let herself retreat in that nostalgia while they were "helping" at the internet cafe, but was that really okay? Was it healthy for either of them?
Nevermind that Levi would be a frequent visitor, and she still hadn't told Croix about ANY of that...
There was a long time before she responded again, basically the clock already lurching into evening. She had to really sit there and think about it, but...
... in the end... ]
How about, until you can afford a place of your own, you stay with me? It'd only be a temporary situaiton, of course! But I think I'd prefer this than worrying about you taking care of yourself out there.
[ In the end, a form of irrationality was always going to win with her, wasn't it? Even if it meant setting up the rake she'd eventually slam into her own face... ]

[Croix's eyes widened when she saw that message. Was...was this something either of them were truly ready for? Her intention hadn't been to goad Ursula into anything, but now she finds it hard to ignore this particular notion.]
Interesting idea. But is there room for both of us to sleep? I don't want to put you out.
[Perhaps irrationality was affecting them both.]

Well.
[ When Levi stayed over, they could just both fit into her futon... and there was still space for one more, she thought. ]
There's enough space for two twin-size futons, as well as space leftover after that. We put away the futons during the day, and it's a decent sized living room.

I see.
Would you mind if sometimes I bring work home, so to speak? That might take up some space...

Heh. I still remember your room-mates' reaction to finding us sleeping back to back over that pile of notes.

Heh. Well, on the bright side...no one to do that now if it happens again, hm?
[ Well that... kind of put her in a corner. And in truth, she did need to say something, before things moved further, but...
How? How did she breech that? She could feel her chest tightening up, that panic setting in... All that could run through her head were scenarios where even just mentioning Levi would start a fire she couldn't put out.
She'd... need a better time to do it. Not over text. ]
But no one to provide a blanket, either.
[ A better time. Later. ]

Heh, I suppose you're right.
I'll gather my things, I suppose. I'll stop by tomorrow?

Ah, I see. I think that'd be the much less awkward option, considering it's communal.
