[ But he already finished those :( ]

Oh, morning Lupine! What brings you around here?

[at_heart]

I followed the smell of lemon disinfectant.

Guessing the bean's not letting up just yet, huh?

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Well the etiquette one's left me alone-

[ Except for where he bothered a bunch of maids. ]

- and I've gotten a hang of keeping my second set of eyes closed since they're still lingering too.

[at_heart]

[ His gaze does automatically track for what look convincingly like tattoos as long as his eyes are shut, and then Lupine gives him a crooked but sympathetic smile. ]

If it makes you feel any better, I'm running out of shirts I can wear like this?

[ He already had to buy one, Tea might've talked him into getting a second one, but like,,, ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

[ Chuckles. ]

Maybe tunics might work better for a while.

[at_heart]

[ .......Please hold while he processes that. ]

What, with the wings inside them?

[ Do tunics have open backs sometimes, ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Wouldn't a tunic be easy to cut slits into the back with?

[at_heart]

Oh.

[ —Boy, it completely did not occur to him to manually alter anything he already owns, but Lupine is making a face. ]

I dunno, if I cut something up, I'll wanna take it to a fin, and whole new outfits are so cheap that I could've gotten one for as much as Felicity charged to fix my boots that one time.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

I could sew it back up for you if you wanna keep wearing it after.

[ Said in full confidence. ]

[at_heart]

...You're sure? A lot of LiliS clothes're knits.

[ Sewing knits back up is hard! ...He's pretty sure, despite having not tried it in Imeeji. ] [ This is a totally separate question over whether he'd feel terrible asking you to do that, he is briefly waylaid by his own perception of complexity. ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Yeah, I'm pretty confident I could manage.

[ Instinctively it doesn't feel hard, at least. ]

[at_heart]

...Huh.

[ Folding his arms thoughtfully. ] [ After a beat, he gives Aster a crooked smile. ]

I know right now it's the, uh, bean talking, but we're not making you do too much normally, are we? I don't wanna take advantage of you knowing all this stuff.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

You guys haven't been making me do anything though. I've been the one who decided to take on all the tasks I do.

I do appreciate the concern though. It's nice.

[at_heart]

[ Relaxes. A little. —And then maybe flusters again gdi tsunnn. ]

...Yeah, well. I'd be a real jerk to do anything else.

[ Beat. ]

Need any help in here, or would I literally be taking away from your bean-related satisfaction?

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Don't worry, I've got it. I don't think I'm anywhere near tired, even.

[at_heart]

Good?

[ Better than the alternative, anyway, his brain supplies immediately, and Lupine winces. ]

...You slept last night, right?

[ This isn't just. Constant manic cleaning energy, ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Yeah? I did wake up a little earlier than usual, but nothing crazy.

[ 4am isn't crazy right. ]

[at_heart]

[ 4am is definitely some kind of crazy. ]

I mean, as long as you didn't have to get up repeatedly to do more cleaning.

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Nope, I just started the usual within Lilis then headed out.

[at_heart]

[ ...Still kind of worried? Still kind of worried. ]

Have you eaten yet?

[wayofthehousekeeper]

I had breakfast?

[ What time is it now... ]

[at_heart]

[ .................................. ]

Do you think you can take a quick break to eat?

[ Still trying to gauge how intense this compulsion is, tbh. ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

Well, I'm almost done here, then I had something I primed already that I'll need to jump to right after... I should be done in a few hours though?

[at_heart]

[ Hrm. ]

What about just like, fifteen minutes. Ten minutes.

[ He can bring you food. ]

[wayofthehousekeeper]

I guess if I really hustled I could get it done in fifteen minutes...

[ Aster no. ]
