[justdumbluck]

[His mind drifts back to that big apartment, empty for so long, until that night in 1930...

No, he can't. He shakes his head to brush those thoughts away.]

Yeah. That sounds good.

[A faint smile is all he can manage for now.]

I don't know what we can do about neighbors, though. You've seen these people.

[cursedtolive]

Mm, well if worst comes to worst, we'll just have to find another place that doesn't have as crazy neighbors. [If Firo cannot smile, Czeslaw will plaster one on his face to make up for it. It's easier for him, he knows, because Czeslaw wasn't as attached to Manhattan and the Martillos as Firo was.]

... We'll make it.

[justdumbluck]

Maybe I'll ask Barton if she wants to move in next to us. She's about as normal as it gets here.

[Which says a lot, considering she's an ax-wielding telekinetic.

Firo blinks and looks down at Czes. His smile in return is a little more genuine.]

...Yeah. Thanks.

[cursedtolive]

Barton's the girl with the blue dog, right? Yeah, I won't mind if it's her.

[Better than a guy who kills using everything. Ugh redheads!]

We agreed that it'd be nice, right? Come on.

[justdumbluck]

Yeah, her! You two have met already?

[His eyes light up; already his family away from home is coming together.]

We did!

[He nods firmly and speeds up his pace to a slow trot.]

[cursedtolive]

Yeah, I met her when her dog ran through the garage door, once.

[When Firo starts trotting, he speeds up as not to be left behind.]

I want one with a fireplace.

[justdumbluck]

Yeah, it's a... pretty distinctive dog, huh?

[He pauses suddenly, scratching his head.]

A fireplace? Are we gonna hafta go in all a' them and see?

[cursedtolive]

I think we'll just have to look for chimneys, actually. We can do that from outside right?

[justdumbluck]

Ah. Right.

[Duh. He starts looking at the roofs, and then points to one in the distance.]

How about that one? It doesn't look too big either.

[cursedtolive]

Where? [He grabs Firo's arm and pulls himself on his tiptoes to find it. When he does, he nods!]

Yeah, let's go check it out!

[justdumbluck]

[The enthusiasm makes Firo laugh. He nods and holds Czes's elbow in case he needs help balancing.]

Let's go! Hopefully nobody got to it yet.

[cursedtolive]

[He turns red when Firo laughs.]

D-don't make fun of me...

[justdumbluck]

[That only encourages him. He tries to smile innocently, but it turns out to be more of a smirk.]

What? I didn't say anything.

[cursedtolive]

You laughed. [He puffs out his cheeks!!]

[justdumbluck]

So I laugh and you immediately assume I'm laughin' at you?

[Which is actually very reasonable since Czes is the only person nearby.]

[cursedtolive]

What else would you be laughing at?

[justdumbluck]

Fine, you got me. I couldn't help it, I've never seen you get all excited over somethin' like that.

[cursedtolive]

So you're going to laugh at me? Really?

[The most. Offended. Face.]

[justdumbluck]

[He bites his lip to keep from laughing at that face.]

...Yeah. C'mon, it was funny.

[cursedtolive]

I was actually excited! Now I'm never going to get excited about anything in front of you.

[HUFF.]

[justdumbluck]

What? Oh, come on!

[Then what will he laugh at?

He holds out his hand to Czes, pouting.]

I'm sorry, I'll stop. Let's go check out the house, okay?

[cursedtolive]

[He glares at him for a few seconds before he huffs, then grumbles.]

... Okay. [He will take that hand.]

[justdumbluck]

Good.

[When they get to the house, he smiles at Czes.]

You wanna open the door?

[cursedtolive]

Sure, I'll do it. [He steps forward to turn the knob. He thinks they might want to find a lock for it sometime but for now he smiles as he pushes the door open!]

[justdumbluck]

[Firo follows Czes into the house and immediately starts looking around for the fireplace. It was Czes's priority, after all.]

Huh. What do you think?

[Like all the other houses, it needs some touching up, but Firo's not too concerned.]
