[There's a light little sigh. He will continue to be a cagey little shit both intentionally and unintentionally, but at least he'll undoubtedly be more aware of it whenever he's talking to Famine now.]
How surprising... You don't seem like the sort of person who would prefer company for company's sake.
Like a shepherd tending to their flock, hm? [Said lightly, almost on a laugh.] Do be certain to let me know if I call on you overly-much. I feel I've already overstayed my welcome with some.
[Death, who he will not stop bothering regardless.]
His head cants to the side and he finally unpeels his arms from where they've been firmly and defensively crossed over his middle for a majority of this conversation, one hand rising so his fingers can lightly rest against his cheek as he considers.]
Beyond the possibility of a shower? I did tell Gale I would ask one of you about that...
[HE'S BEEN BATHING IN THE LEECH STREAM AND A BARN TROUGH HE WOULD LOVE A SHOWER.]
Why is the shower a secret... [HELP!!!] I would like to take one, but I was speaking more in terms of things that would benefit everyone. Is there nothing that can be done to improve the current bathing situation for them?
We aren't able to do full renovations and sneak in entire infrastructures of water overnight... though I don't know if the village will remain the same the entire course of your stay. I can confer with the others, but it will take time.
I see... That does make sense. Thank you for conferring with them, at least.
[THEN THERE'S A
LONG PAUSE AS HE CONSIDERS THIS PERSONAL BETRAYAL OF GALE WHOM HE OFFERED TO HELP AS THEY COMPLAINED TOGETHER ABOUT THE LACK OF ADEQUATE BATHING FACILITIES AND GALE WAS CLEARLY SO MUCH MORE UNHAPPY THAN HE HIMSELF WAS.....................
...
...
..............]
...Yes, please. [HE'S SORRY GALE.] I'll keep it to myself.
famine waits patiently though. until lucas comes to his conclusion, and then they just laugh to themselves ]
Wow.
[ BUT THAT'S ALL THEY SAY!!! IT'S ALL THEY SAY SO THAT'S SOMETHING
they'll turn on their heel then and start walking toward the south end of the village, toward where the npcs were discovered doing their gardening on sunday ]
[HE'S FUCKING DYINGGG BUT LISTEN HE HAS SO MUCH MORE HAIR THAN GAAAAALE he's going to feel guilty every time he looks at Gale until they get a communal shower and even then he'll still feel guilty.
But he'll still follow along anyway HE GUESSES!!!!]
What else is there to say? [ famine looks over their shoulder to lucas to briefly say: ] Stay close.
[ until they walk forward enough that the fog clears ever so slightly to accommodate both famine and lucas walking through it. they walk right past the garden, tenderly looked after, until they reach a row of trees. past those trees is a small, quaint little inn. it's on the older side, like the rest of the village, but it's not nearly so run down. vintage vibes. ]
Our residence.
So you can imagine why we don't want too many people to know of it.
[who would ever send anyone a blanket full of leeches........... not the pious church........
He will stick close, though! Not uncomfortably so since he is very keenly aware of personal space, but enough that he won't get lost in the fog and die w0 tuesday (tch)
The little garden is looked at with some curiosity, but when he sees the inn, he's immediately like ah naruhodo. Thinking about the shit he's already had to clean up. Thinking about the people who have threatened property damage.]
I can certainly understand. Though I'd imagine it's hard to reach without one of you...?
[He says this but he's also thinking about how people just stumbled across them in the fog.]
If you send a crow, that ought to be enough. One of us won't need to escort you each time, the housekeeper will let you in.
[ and they will enter this cute, adorable lil inn free of property damage and leeches. lucas is free to come here now though he won't be able to explore on his own outside of his lil bathroom trips. once they get inside he will see there is a random guy in there, sweeping. he waves. ]
[WHO THE HELL IS THIS he'll also politely wave back hi housekeeper...]
This is all rather quaint.
[He'll look around as he goes but stick with Scien as they head to the bathroom so he can take his traitor shower that he murdered Gale in cold blood for.]
anyway that's will. he's fine. lucas gets escorted to the bathroom that isn't super grand or luxurious but perfectly functional and clean. famine will rustle around in a nearby cabinet to toss him a towel ]
[STOP I FUCKING HATE IT HERE I ALSO HATE THAT WILL IS HERE GET HIM OUT.
But he will catch the towel. Every bone in his body is full of Gale-directed guilt but as he looks around this perfectly functional and clean bathroom he mostly doesn't regret his choices.]
Thank you...
[Time to get clean!!!!
i'm glad they'll be in the garden because now i can have lucas have an episode and bash his forehead into the shower handle as he almost passes out real not clickbait.]

As I said, I do not care if your apprehension is because of the context of the situation or because you distrust me. I do not blame you for either.
Your presence is enough.

I do not seek to bind you to me. However much or however little you wish to call upon me, that is enough.

I will be the first to let you know, though I don't anticipate such a time coming.
If there is something you are in need of, you should also let me know.
