There is something deep and indescribable in having those words in written form. A little look here, a little peek there. That he can take his phone out his pocket and read them anytime he likes - and feel those strange emotions anew? It leaves him more than a little shook up.]
I shall endeavour to return home at midnight in a state of high spirits, then.
[He is staying here under scrutiny, yes. But he remembers a time when he went completely unnoticed. And this compared to that is heaven.]
[He reads and rereads the reply from Jasper, tilting his head. Jasper is alluding to something, but he isn't quite sure what.]
You are giving yourself a curfew?
[Truth be told, if that is what is being said, it would be a weight off his shoulders. Not that he generally considered Jasper the type to stay out all night.]
Are you not capable of waiting one week? Do you not understand that one must find correct colour and texture? Or might you suppose drapes jump off the shelf and hang themselves?

[He will at least make an effort. For a week.]

[...He says that, not quite taking into consideration that Jasper may very well prove him wrong. He needs to be better about this.]
no subject
[That is warning enough.]
Hendrik, I hope you should know me better than that.
[There had been a connection. It's too late in the day to think it might still be here.]
no subject
But on this topic, perhaps it's best not to dig so far into the past.]
You have had the tendency to stay up, but not stay out. Where would you possibly go?
no subject
Home.
no subject
Home
[He hovers back and forth between a period or question mark before ending with neither.]
no subject
[Not home on Erdrea but home here.]
no subject
Yes, I suppose it is home.
[It's a tough feeling to process. Last Bastion certainly wasn't a home, and anything that preceded it had been reduced to rubble.]

[Is there something wrong with his request?]

[Really, Jasper should just be glad the curtains aren't black. Or striped and polka-dotted, for that matter.]
no subject
Fine. Let it not be said I cannot keep pace with you.
