It'll be a project, but nothing you can't handle. And you'll need some extra hands - I'll send out word to some of the more physically inclined sort I know. They did a good enough job with the clinic, so you know they won't be liable to break things waywardly.
[that look on her face says she's thinking of things like lists and organizing and tasks being done - an unconscious reflex.]
I appreciate it! Dunno much about buildin' and decoratin' things. y' any good at that?
[ her apartment looks nice, after all. she's clearly capable of doing more than ryouma, who chooses everything based on functionality and never even thinks of form. clearly. ]
I owe ya one for havin' the suggestion, else I might not've been in the right place at the right time. Hehe, even had somebody from the Department make it all official.
[ given the time and the time frame since he's had it and the speed of bureaucracy, it's safe to assume it's not as official as it could be, but who cares. ]
[she doesn't trust cops as far as she can throw them, so Ryouma's degree of approval is enough. instead, she keeps looking over the boat, eyes widening when he talks about decorating.]
I can only decorate to my own taste. What you like, what would make it your home...you should have final say on that. All advice I can offer would be just that - advice.
[that, and her entire apartment was crafted on a thrifting budget. fixing is better than buying new when it costs less. she has little idea what he's projecting for the whole affair, after all.]
Mm, yeah. S'pose you're right. It's just hard t' know where to begin.
[ nothing can harsh his happy, triumphant buzz for real, but something of a more somber shadow falls over his expression all the same. it's impossible not to let his thoughts drift to the past when he thinks of things like home. ]
I gave up on havin' place of my own a long time ago. After I died, the roads may not have been the physical sort, but I just kept movin' anyway...
[ and as if on cue he does exactly that, though mostly because he intends to try and shake that feeling. yeah, he's doing his usual deflection, shaking the melancholy off like dust before he smiles at her in a way that wants to be really convincing. ]
What I mean to say is I appreciate any advice ya give me! I'll figure it out in time.
