Who: Archer and Sparkles and whoever
When: Day 46, evening
Where: Sparkles
What: HEROIC SPIRIT CLASS: HOUSE HUSBAND

[SO AT SOME POINT everyone was kicked out of apt sparkles by Tempest so that Archer could work, and Archer spent the next couple of hours making the entire place ~spotless~ from top to bottom, as well as making a veritable feast for the entire apartment.

So a few hours later when Archer props the door open to let the smell of delicious dinner waft out, sparklites will arrive to a clean apt and a table full of platters of food, served family style. also excellent tea.

and the kitchen is somehow already clean again. yes he's that good]

Welcome back, you can start eating as soon as you like.

[hmmm]

I think you enjoy mixed signals, my dear.

[hyanaimne]

I do, in fact.

It was very good, Archer. I'm impressed.

[retracing]

[gosh is this a smidgen of genuine pleasure? kind of amused]

I'm glad you enjoyed. I hope you still have space for pie.

[hyanaimne]

[makes an amused noise]

I made sure to leave room.

[retracing]

[getting out pie then]

You've made quite a home for yourself here.

[hyanaimne]

[. . . :x]

It is quite a good home, isn't it?

[retracing]

I heard no one had been here long.

[slicing pie, plating]

[hyanaimne]

Oh no, most of us have been staying here since we arrived. Only a few of the children are new, so to speak.

[retracing]

How long is 'not new'?

[hyanaimne]

I have been here for thirty days. I suppose that counts.

[retracing]

[carrying pie to the table]

Not long after all...

[hyanaimne]

Not quite, no, but there are not many who have been here longer than that.

[retracing]

I heard it wasn't long but I didn't realize just how short.

[hyanaimne]

How long have you been here?

[retracing]

Two days.

[hyanaimne]

My, that's rather new.

[retracing]

I suppose, but it's strange to think of how fresh this civilization is.

[hyanaimne]

It is, a bit. And that how this place grows is in our hands, for the most part.

[retracing]

I'll be surprised if it survives it's first generation.

[hyanaimne]

I suppose it is something to look forward to seeing. If it survives, that is.

[retracing]

Indeed.... it would be quite a sight.

[hyanaimne]

Mm, yes. I guess I should be thankful that I may live to see it.

[retracing]

[this is a depressing line of thought, change subject]

Anyway, I think we've gotten sidetracked from something important here.

[hyanaimne]

Your reward, yes?

[retracing]

Correct.
