[Les nodded. It was good to know that they both had safety on their minds. The last thing Les wanted was to be located/found by anyone who might be out for her blood.]
Agreed. I would have tried to find a location closer to the coast but what we'll be doing, I figured not having neighbors so close by would be optimal. So, we're a relatively short distance away from the city.
[It wasn't anything she wasn't used to. In London, The House she'd shared with... them was at least 45 minutes away. It had its own appeal. She enjoyed the city and the way it was never completely silent. This way, she could focus on something other than her own mind. Eventually, one day, she'd work through it but that wasn't today or in the near future.]
Oh let's hope so - delivery is the best invention.
[As they stood in front of the pool, she took a moment to marvel at it herself. At Nariko's response, she couldn't help but laugh and nod in agreement.]
It'll be perfect to relax in after training or... just to hang out in. And the bar is a nice feature.
[If they had company or people they invited over, it would be the perfect entertainment spot. But, unless they made some new friends, she doubted she'd be inviting anyone over anytime soon. She hoped, at the very least, that they would form a friendship or working partnership. There was a small part of her that felt that maybe she didn't deserve to have friends since she wasn't there to save Jordan. But logically, she knew that was the unresolved grief and guilt talking. She was not going to burden Nariko with that mess just yet.]
The kitchen is a bit smaller than I'd expected but should still work alright.
[Any hesitation that she might've felt whether Nariko would commit was settled with that statement.]
Perfect. I chose a bedroom so if you want to go choose one and get settled? We can go shopping for any necessities that you may need.
[Truth be told, she hadn't really lived with anyone else in a while (since she'd left England last time). There was a part of her that was realizing she'd missed it... at least a little bit.]
That last line of Nariko's made me think of a line/song from Hamilton and I smiled. Lol!
