hey! everybody else pissed off about those caves? good, cuz i'm calling for an emergency party. there needs to be some real fun around here after whatever the hell that was.

i'm still pretty new here, so suggestions on place? stuff to do??? really somebody else can handle organization, that sounds boring, i just wanted to put out the word.

Of course not! I don't want to think about THAT either!

it's gotta be one way or the other!!

But they're both improper!

make up your mind princess, it's either stealing or naked.

[ now he kind of just wants to get her to admit it was okay for him to steal, it's funny to hear from a noble and he might be able to tease her about it someday. ]

[ There's a long delay between her messages. ]

Those can't be the only two options.

And I am NOT a princess. I think we established that already, Mister Frost.

right, right! i'm very sorry, sir knight luxanna. anyway if you have any alternatives to suggest that aren't IMPROPER, i'm all ears.

That's sir knight LUX to you, thank you very much. And I didn't realize that you were taking advice, in which case I might suggest doing some good, honest work? I know a guy in the industrial district who probably won't rip you off.

i've started that! it's boring & having money is ok i guess.

but it's not like i could have done that before i decided to settle down in union, so if we're talking about any time in the past 3 years, you still only have STEALING OR NAKED.

I'm not sure I feel comfortable answering this!

[ C: None of the above? Is that an option? ]

are you admitting defeat??? just say it! "jack i know you had no choice but to steal and it was totally ok for you to do it"

I'm not saying that all! But it isn't my choice to make!

"JACK I KNOW YOU HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO STEAL AND IT WAS TOTALLY OK FOR YOU TO DO IT"

JACK I REALIZE THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY TERRIBLE BUT I FORGIVE YOU BECAUSE I AM THE BETTER PERSON.

SIR LUXANNA IS BREAKING THE KNIGHT'S CODE BY BEING RUDE TO A HOMELESS URCHIN BOY

SIR LUX DOES NOT CONDONE THIEVERY OR PUBLIC INDECENCY.

[ A moment later. ]

Are you actually homeless, Jack?

nah, not anymore. kind of? i don't OWN a place. ok so last month i was sleeping on the streets some nights & i'm staying with Lucca now but i don't like leeching off her so i'm trying to get money + move out.

no idea what i'm doing tho! sleeping in trees was way easier. kinda miss it.

Jack...

[ She was such a hypocrite right now. She did similar things when she first ran away herself. ]

Housing is cheapest in the industrial district. It's loud, and there isn't much space, but you can find a flat to lease for a good price.

oh, cool

this means i have to learn to budget & stuff tho doesn't it.

It isn't as hard as it sounds. If a silly noble girl can figure it out, I know you can.

ok but i just want to remind you that before this month started, i had never held any money. ever. also, had never been inside a house! Lucca is probably getting a kick out of my learning experiences.

Before I ran away, I had no experience with money, finding work, any of that. You saw the way I lived. There is certainly a larger learning curve in your case, but I'm sure Lucca will help you. I can too, if you'd like.

yeah sometimes i forget stuff? like that you can just have water whenever you want, it's so WEIRD. having a house will be interesting anyway!

[ even if it will probably never get cleaned and he won't remember to take showers more than once a week without people to harass him and he's going to run out of food so often because he doesn't want to buy groceries... ]

Are you SURE you're going to be okay by yourself?

[ Suddenly she's not too sure. ]

yeah! didn't we just say i would?

You aren't making a very good case for yourself, talking about forgetting things or being mystified by the idea of running water.
