Welcome to my world! and Love me!

[ He's just so proud. ] That's right.

We need to dress it up a little, but I thought we should do that together...

[negativegate]

[Rita might be proud of him later! First, there's more things she needs to sort out about this.]

But you just thought you'd bring me here in my sleep?

[Not that she hasn't thought of living with him--but it was more him coming to stay at her place or her going to the apartment--she hadn't thought of anything like this.]

[blackshadow]

[ And...a little disappointed. ]

I thought it'd be a better surprise this way...

[ His apartment and her house would never work - even though he has his own room in his apartment, there are still others around.

But he's not thinking of that now. ]

[negativegate]

Well, I am surprised.

[She doesn't really know what to think. She runs a hand through her hair, a little agitated--maybe because there's something else that's bugging her that she can't quite put her finger on (sleeping through his carrying her here...)]

It's just--this is pretty sudden, you know...

[blackshadow]

[ There's nothing weird about that, Rita. He's just worried about how agitated she seems. ]

Well, we're together. It's only natural for us to live together... So it's not that sudden. I've wanted to be with you like this for a while.

[negativegate]

[It's all normal to him?! Rita's a bit conflicted--it's not like she dislikes this, exactly...]

I guess it'd be natural...But I thought you didn't want to leave your friends alone.

[blackshadow]

[ He responds in a tone that shows how little he cares. ]

They don't really compare to you.

[negativegate]

[And that makes her give him a suspicious look, because coming from him, it just sounds off.]

That doesn't mean they don't matter, Tyr.

[blackshadow]

I know that.

[ He's so confused that she's bringing that up, even a little hurt. ]

This isn't about them, though. This is just about us.

[negativegate]

[Rita's confused as to why he sudden;y doesn't care about them--a curse is her immediate thought.]

So you're not worried that something could happen to them?

[blackshadow]

[ He shakes his head. ]

They've been fine so far. They don't need me to watch over them all the time.

And I'd rather be with you anyway. [ He sits up on his elbow. ] It's the same for you, too, right?

[negativegate]

Well...I do like being with you--I want to.

[And it's true, but there's just something off about it.]

Where is this house, anyway?

[blackshadow]

[ He smiles again when she says that. He knew she'd want to be with him. He settles back down into the bed with her. ]

In the City. It was pretty hard to secure, but it'd be safer than an apartment...

[negativegate]

I guess--the houses are kind of expensive, aren't they?

[Maybe as she gets used to the idea, she'll stop feeling so weird about it.]

[blackshadow]

A little... I had to...work hard to get this place. [ Just a little awkward saying that.

He hopes she'll accept it and like it. The way he loved her is special. ]

[negativegate]

[Now that the surprise is over, she ought to start accepting it...Except the awkward way Tyr says that makes her curious.]

What did you have to do? [Take on a second job...?]

[blackshadow]

[ Since it's Rita, he doesn't feel like he should hold back. ]

I stole it.

[negativegate]

[And that--was not anything she was expecting. She doesn't freak out; just blinks in uncertainty.]

Huh? You just came in here and furnished it?

[blackshadow]

And I took the keys.

[ And threatened the owners...

He rolls closer until his face is over hers. ]

So this place is ours now.

[negativegate]

[She stays there, but frowns at him.]

Until you get arrested for something like this, Tyr.

[blackshadow]

[ He'll keep his smile on... ]

I took care of that. Have more faith in me.

[negativegate]

Took care of it, how?

[blackshadow]

It doesn't really matter...

[ He pushes himself up to a sitting position. ]

If you're awake now, let's check out the rest of the house. I've been wanting to show it to you.

[negativegate]

[She sits up too, but takes his and to stop him from leaving the bed.]

It does matter. Tell me.

[blackshadow]

[ With a sigh, he settles back onto the bed. Like that, his cheerfulness is replaced by sombreness. ]

I got rid of them. So there won't be anyone bothering us or asking about this place...
