The day is fresh and new. [Possibly. Might not count if you haven't gone to sleep.]
I've heard going on a run is good for your mental health. [He's deeply entertained by Vash showing up. Is he going to stay there until Istradez has another reason to go out? Does he know when people eat breakfast? And that doesn't even take into account that Mikodez has food in his cabin.
Fun for the whole family (which, here, is just him).] Unfortunately, I'm not sure it would be right for me.
[As funny as it is to tease Istradez about it.] He can't make you, and he wouldn't win any support for trying even if it occurred to him to try. Either of agreeing would just set up a bad precedent.
[Mikodez supposes his brother's skill at tuning people out isn't quite the same as his. Before Mikodez was hexarch he didn't have to listen to anyone. On the other hand, he was supposed to accept missions from other people. It's a tradeoff he accepted.]
Probably not a whole month. [He checks his augment.] Yes, he's still there. ...But think about how funny it'd be to wait to go out again until it's late enough that other people will have seen him out there.
Everything works on the televisions [he manages to use the new word he's picked up without hesitation], so there should be a way to get something similar for the cabin.
[The way these things can 'work' does sometimes make him think about the Admiral's version of the Calendar, but he feels the rituals the Admiral takes power from don't stack up compared to the ones back home.]

If I go, the run will kill me.

[Also he doesn't feel like it.]
Re: bedroom
Date: 2025-05-21 07:03 pm (UTC)[He sighs, sitting up so he doesn't muss his makeup.]
And I cannot stay in this room for the next month. Is he still there?

[He thinks it would be hilarious.]
Re: bedroom
Date: 2025-05-21 08:58 pm (UTC)But his brother has a point, unfortunately, and Istradez can admit that. Silently.]
Fortunately, you're entertaining enough and I was in the middle of my drama.

Then we should get one for your room. Call it cultural study.
Re: bedroom
Date: 2025-05-21 11:19 pm (UTC)A very important area. I would be lost without one.
Re: bedroom
Date: 2025-05-21 11:20 pm (UTC)Im going to wait an hour. If he's still out there, then he's earned the right to at least see my beautiful face.
