[ It definitely is a nice place. He hasn't even seen all of it, really, but the common area is a good indication. Peeking into Yu's room--partially because Yu is okay with it, but mostly because he's nosey--gave him the impression that the rest of the rooms were of a decent size too. It made sense that as soon as Rise came along they'd need an upgrade.

Yeah, it makes sense in that distant, objective kind of way. The thought that he had somehow been involved in that process is a little far fetched. He has yet to grasp how much actual catching up on he'll need. Dwelling too much on it makes him feel off, so he'll just...get used to things, get acquainted with the feeling of displacement. That'll come when the real dangers begin to manifest. But, for now, he can at least be distracted by something more domestic, like Rise making him coffee in the morning. Coffee that isn't actually terrible! ]

Cinnamon? Huh. [ Wait, he didn't think it was sweet enough and she added too much sugar? No, he can't let her know that. His man card is already in jeopardy most of the time. ] Uh, no! No, it's fine. I just couldn't place the taste. [ He makes a point of taking a big gulp.

He's got to practice drinking black coffee more. Man.

After the swallows, he rests the cup on his knee. ]

It's pretty quiet. Is it just you? Where'd everyone else go?
