>Smile
>You're right, of course; we're all in this together. Thank you both for that.

[Oldmansour]

>Smile
>You're right, of course; we're all in this together. Thank you both for that.

>Well, now that that's settled, can I ask about something else I've been wondering about? Reisen inquires.

[DracoOmega]

>Yes, of course.

[Oldmansour]

>Yes, of course.

>What about Reimu-san? She was there, too, she's going to want to know what this was all about.

[DracoOmega]

>We're not nearly as close to her, right?

[Oldmansour]

>We're not nearly as close to her, right?

>You consider her a friend, but no, you're not as close to her as your neighbors.

[DracoOmega]

>Oh. Right.
>Pause
>Well, she can still get the explanation from Lotus, at the very least. And I still need to track down Kanako and Suwako, since they know something about what happened to Sanae.

[Oldmansour]

>Oh. Right.
>Pause
>Well, she can still get the explanation from Lotus, at the very least. And I still need to track down Kanako and Suwako, since they know something about what happened to Sanae.

>Well, it's just... Reisen starts, sounding a touch nervous. I was concerned that, since Patchouli's... Well, left, that Reimu might decide that her apartment would be for rent again. And then I'd need somewhere else to stay.

[DracoOmega]

>Particularly under these circumstances, I cannot imagine she'd be so callous as to evict you.
>But for that matter, how was the apartment paid for? Post-dated cheques?

[Oldmansour]

>Particularly under these circumstances, I cannot imagine she'd be so callous as to evict you.
>But for that matter, how was the apartment paid for? Post-dated cheques?

>I'd like to think so. But I also don't know for sure. I mean, technically, I can't hold the apartment myself, I'm a slave. At least I don't think so, maybe she'd make an exception. But again, I can't say for sure.
>I'm not sure, but I think so. Master Knowledge was handling finances until Patchy and I were more financially secure. But I don't know how much longer the rent's paid up for.

[DracoOmega]

>Well, there's always enough room in my bed for three....

>I imagine it wasn't month-to-month - that's more trouble for everyone. And the apartment doesn't need to be in your name for you to stay there, after all - it wasn't before. Patchouli is just... away on business; there's no reason to assume she's kicked you out. We'll figure something out with Reimu, don't worry.
