[serve]

I see. So you rarely interact with each other unless necessary.

[ That doesn't seem totally off-base for strangers who are forced to room together.

He closes his eyes, seriously considering the situation Yusuke has given him. This is less than ideal, to say the least. On the one hand, he would desire nothing more than to keep an eye on his master, to better serve his needs. On the other, he is not so presumptuous that he would consider himself worthy of staying in the same room as him. On the other, other hand (dark spear probably), he has already asked much of Yusuke by forcing him to clean, and the boy has offered no protest.

He clears his throat.

He has met Chuuya before, and thought that there were certain aspects of his personality that could be improved upon. Perhaps his master is just the person to inspire him to better himself. Yusuke, on the other hand, could take better care of himself and his abode, but he's a polite young man. ]

I think it would be best if I shared a room with you, Yusuke. Would that be alright with you? [ He only hopes that Rai will be alright with this arrangement, even if it kills him that he cannot give his master his own private space at the moment. ]

[ Well, Chuuya is a lush and a grosso and generally pretty unappreciative, so he understands why he seems like the superior roommate option now. In fact, who would want to room with Nakahara at all? Hopefully he doesn't grope Rai in his sleep, insatiable perv that he is.

Meanwhile, Yusuke isn't thrilled with the idea of a roommate, but as far as adults and/or strangers go, there were worse options. ]

That's fine with me. [ He prefers having someone neat around anyway, even if Frankie seems a little extreme about it. With a small, polite bow, ] I'll be in your care then, Frankenstein.

[ There isn't much to show off, though—their room has more art supplies squirreled away, some weapons in the corner... and the rest of the apartment is pretty spartan besides. The small kitchen is well-used, and the cleaning closet stocked with some basics, like mops, dust pans, whatever. He rummages around as he thinks aloud, casually tossing back rags and whatever else he finds. ]

We don't have many house rules. But you can establish some order, if you prefer. [ He kind of seems the type. ]

[serve]

I have to admit, I’m not thrilled about the idea of-- [ He will have to bring himself to say Rai’s name. Not that he is averse explaining the idea of he and Rai’s relationship, especially not in the aftermath of their world being destroyed and the conflict between humans, nobles, and werewolves being moot, but it seems like a heavy topic for now. ] Raizel sharing a room with someone as untidy and temperamental as Chuuya, but perhaps he will be a good influence on him.

That’s a good idea. We should come up with some house rules when everyone is gathered. [ He then hands Yusuke an apron he’s been holding. He has a matching one for himself, which he quickly ties on. ] Shall we get to work? I will get started on the bathroom. The tub is in terrible shape. [ It’s almost as if someone has been… living in it… ]

I’ll get started on dinner, too. Any requests?

[tricksune]

[ Oh, so he's tidier than Chuuya, that's good enough for him. He seems pleased by this distinction, taking the apron and putting it on without hesitation. Even if it's not his usual aesthetic, doesn't it sort of suit the task at hand? And they match, so it's even more fitting. Besides, they need something to keep their clothes clean during this domestic episode that Frankie seems so set on.

On the bright side, scrubbing the bathroom until they die of fumes is totally worth it for a homecooked meal. He perks up immediately. ]

You can cook...? [ would he... spend money on groceries? unthinkable. ]

[serve]

Yes, of course. [ Yusuke this is a basic life skill?

He continues reaching for the bottle of cleaner and a brush to scrub Shu's nastyass legacy away. He's started to scrub when it dawns on him to follow up on Yusuke's question. ]

You can't? [ Man, what are kids good for these days!! ]

[tricksune]

[ This is so much judgment, so quickly, let him live?? ]

I specialize in economic dining. [ he can make a mean potato ] But it's been some time since I've had a homecooked meal made by anyone else...

[ Yusuke cleans away some invisible grime on the floor grout, and it's clear they have a ways to go. The thought of dinner on the distant horizon will just have to keep him going. The idea is nice, though; he smiles, even if they look ridiculous and are acting even moreso. ]

If you could make us a stew, I think you would quickly rise to the rank of the best roommate I've ever had.

[serve]

Economic… dining.

[ He can read between the lines there. This must be the same type of economic dining that inspired the students at Ye Ran to introduce Rai to ramen. A fine palate, indeed. He gives him a small smile before setting down the cleaning supplies. ]

Very well, then. I will make a stew for dinner. [ But also ramen for Rai too, always ramen. ] It takes a bit longer than most things to cook properly, so I will get that started. [ Challenge accepted. It’s time to give Yusuke proper nutrition. ]
