[Having finally dragged themselves out of the shrine room, two guys are standing in the middle of one of the most recently opened apartments, surveying the place.]

Well... it could use a bit of something. A bit of anything, honestly.

((Feel free to use for your own apartment searching if you like!))

I don't know.

[untempered]

...

Nothing I say will change how you felt then. I know this.

[intellectum]

...

[untempered]

I can only help you now. If you'll let me.

[intellectum]

I don't need any help.

[untempered]

[that stings.]

Xavier.

[intellectum]

[looking down]

Look what helping me got you.

[untempered]

[steps in a bit closer]

Xavier, that was not your fault. If it wasn't for you, I would have died fourteen years ago. Do you really think I would trade any of that time?

[intellectum]

... No.

[untempered]

[places his hands on Xavier's shoulders]

So don't close yourself off from me thinking it will be better for me. It won't be.

[intellectum]

If you say so.

[untempered]

Please. That's... all I'm asking.

[intellectum]

...

All right.

[untempered]

[...nods, and lets go of his shoulders.]

[intellectum]

[watches him]

[untempered]

[rubs at his face tiredly, though some tension has lessened. turns to survey the empty room they're in again.]

[intellectum]

Are we going to ask for a table?

[untempered]

Of course. But I may be selfish and ask for blankets first.

[intellectum]

I see.

[untempered]

Unless you'd like to sleep on the table... though that would be possible, if we get a large one.

[intellectum]

Sleeping on a table? Really now.

[untempered]

You've fallen asleep on tables before.

[intellectum]

Once! Only once!

[untempered]

That I saw, you mean.

[intellectum]

It only happened once.
