[ Happily grinning at the sight that awaits him, he closes the door on his heels and toes off his boots, climbing onto the bed with their greasy treasure. ]
Delivery for the most beautiful girlfriend in Exandria? Payment is a kiss, I hear. Company policy.
[ Hearing 'girlfriend' is funny and makes Molly smile, and she figures that's the proper wording for it right now, wasn't it? She scoots over a bit so she can give Fjord his 'payment' in a sweet kiss. ]
Mmm... almost as good as this food will be. Almost.
[ He pretends to swoon but does it strategically, flopping in front of her as he lays down the grub; the pizza is a steaming meaty affair and Molly has a big bag of chips with various dips, six beers clanking as Fjord lays them on the bed in a neat line, because they aren't animals. ]
You smell so good, you should wear my clothes more often. Oh, did you need five dips? I got them anyway. What have you been up to today?
[ He crawls his chatty way to lay his head in Molly's lap, munching on a slice of pizza. ]
Molly makes herself comfortable with Fjord's head in her lap, eyes wide and excited.
Five dips? You definitely know the way to my heart.
[ Watching Fjord lie down and eat pizza feels stupid amounts of domestic, and she reaches for a slice as well. Pizza was definitely one of the better parts of this place, and she hopes there's something similar back home. If there isn't, Molly will invent it.
She swallows her first bite before answering, tail coming to 'guard' their hoard of food. ]
Looked at the network thing, took a long bath, helped out a bit in the kitchen... don't tell anyone, I'll lose my status as a freeloader. [ Another bite of pizza. ]
[ He waggles his brows up at her, reaching back to hug her waist above. As his fingers trail up her back under his hoodie, he looks genuinely interested when she mentions the card. ]
[ Molly sticks her tongue out at the 'good girl' part, wiggling a bit as he finds a slightly ticklish spot. She leans over to the nightstand beside the bed, just barely managing to open the drawer and grab her card without making them both fall over.
She hands it over to Fjord while opening a beer. The card is another double one, with nine flowers on one side tangling together with a sun above them, and on the opposite the cut stems are bleeding into a bowl full of buttons. The words say 'Home' and 'Here'. ]
[ Nine, huh. Huh. He hums as he looks it over, thumb brushing over the flowers. He sets the card safely on his chest and brushes his curled knuckles along the red eye on Molly's neck, looking up at her. ]
Yeah... together we're beautiful, a home made from a found family. [ She smiles, pointing at the flowers. ] They're all weeds of some kinds, to show our strength. [ Wink! ]
...but just like people have to go through a lot of pain to find the place they belong, our roots have been cut... and remaining in one place without going forward will eventually make us bleed out. Then we will never find home and will only be 'here'.
[ She meets the kiss slowly, and then shakes her head a bit when Fjord speaks. ]
I know... I know that's what we hope for and will fight for.
[ It's what keeps her sane, holding on to this rather than awaiting death and nothingness - even if she knows deep inside it's probably not going to go well. ]
The idea of this being 'home' just bothered me during that party, that's all. I got the melancholy all out of me with the card, so it's all good.
[ Fjord drags the pizza box closer, an arm up for Molly to crawl under if she wants to cuddle against the headboard as Fjord leans back. He hopes it helps for her to hear this all out loud from someone. ]
As soon as Caleb has his tower back, you'll see what home is. We carry it with us.
[ Molly leans against him as soon as he offers, immediately feeling a little better. It does help her to hear it, to know that not everyone thought so. The conversation with Beau had been a little jarring, but in hindsight she realizes why the monk pushed to try to convince her about it, but... Molly was coming home with them.
At the mention of the tower, Molly smiles and reaches for her pizza again. ]
[ Cuddled up together, he rubs Molly's back and arms. Offers him some pizza. ]
You have to say 'Up' if you want to float up the middle of the tower, there are floors we share together. I have Jester and Beau on mine, Caduceus shares a floor with Yasha and the guest bedroom, and there's a great hall as well as a huge salon with a stained glass window of someone's coat.
[ She eats the pizza happily, listening to Fjord. Him, Jester and Beau on one floor, Cad and Yasha on the second... probably Caleb, Not-Veth and Essek, on next. It sounded nice, but at the mention of the salon and the stained glass window, Molly looks up at Fjord with wide eyes. ]
[ The tiefling outright squeals at the whole fucking spade slipping into that stupid, cute mouth and she pulls away, slapping her boyfriend with her chips. ]
[ A beaten man, he flops against her with an arm draped around Molly's middle to drag her down into cuddle. ]
There are fey cats everywhere! Little fuckers run the whole tower and make the food, do the chores ... It's an allergy nightmare, even if they aren't real.

I promise we'll go home. And ... if something stops us, if we ever get stuck here ... we'll be stuck together.
But that's a really big if, love.
