[ tucked against the corner of the couch, head lolling a bit as he dazes, an arm loosely wrapped around nathan's waist. the touch is as unintrusive as it gets -- relaxed and open so that nathan can get away anytime he wishes. twitches once in a while in his daze, however, still relatively aware as people appears & disappears in the map in his head. ]

[ shakes his head. ]

< Nathan is my friend! >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

[ almost looks a little confused. ]

< But he does not live with you? >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ shakes his head again & leans back a little on the couch. ]

< He has a big house, and a family. I don't think he likes it there too much, but it's still family. This team lives apart. >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

[ suddenly looks worried, reaching out to stroke his hair. ]

< You aren't lonely because of this, are you? Should I talk to them about it? Find you a roommate? >

[ leans into her touches eagerly. ]

< It's a little hard to sleep at night, but it's this team's rules. I need to follow them, so it's okay. >

< Nathan comes to see me a lot during the day, though! I gave him a room. >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

[ ignores her drink in favor of gently tugging him into a hug. ]

< You should tell him to stay with you, then. If he doesn't like his house but he likes you, then it's only logical, right? >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ rests his chin on her shoulder as he hugs her back tightly. ]

< I like him with me, but he should be with his family, I think. But I told him he could visit anytime! >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

[ tries to not show her amusement, but it's not working very well. ]

< And he visits you every day, doesn't he? >

[ picks up the amusement well enough; looks happier at the lift in her mood, even if he is confused by it. ]

Ja!

[ shakes her head fondly, but does not elaborate. ]

< He is a very good friend, then! I would love to spend more time with him, and meet your other teammates! >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

< . . . !! Really?! I'll introduce them to you! And we can see Nathan tomorrow! >

< Wonderful, wonderful! >

[ now shifts to nab her beer, leaving an arm wrapped around caleb's shoulders. lifts her drink, as if giving a toast. ]

< We will have a party, then! Invite them over! I will cook! >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ jumps a bit, his excitement clear. ]

< I'll help you cook too! Home food! >

< Home food, yes! >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

[ hums in thought. ]

< Do you know what kind of food they enjoy? Drinks? >

[ rubs at the back of his head. ]

< Um. . . they usually only have water with their food. Nathan likes pizza with cheese and tomatoes, Mister Aaron eats anything Miss Hana makes. . . >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

. . . [ seems to short-circuit shortly after a few more minutes of consideration. ]

< I'm sure they'll like anything Hilda makes! >

[ nods a few times, waiting patiently. takes a long drink of her beer and then sits upright. ]

< That settles it, then! We should go prepare at once! >

[amusieren.livejournal.com]

[ digs into her bag, shuffling around a bunch of stuff crammed in there. lets out a "ah-hah!" when she finds her wallet, pulling it out for him to see. ]

< Supplies are needed! Is there a grocery store nearby? >

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ jumps to his feet as well, though he keeps his strawberry milk with him. ]

< I'll go with you! There's a really big one fifteen minutes away. >
