[aeva]

There's something I'd recently tried to fight them on to know avail but... it may not be something to worry about.

( famous last words in this place )

There are a few things I'd like to ask you though, just to get it out of the way I guess.

[lightlessflame]

Ask me whatever you would like; I have no secrets.

[They're, generally, a waste of time.]

[aeva]

Then it's a good job they're not for secrets.

( she smiles slightly )

Do you have somewhere to live?

[lightlessflame]

[It's a somewhat unexpected question.]

...I've been living in my assigned housing in the Down. I share the apartment with another submissive, though we keep to ourselves. A friend of mine offered to buy me a new home, but I felt it would be an unnecessary use of his funds.

[Considering that he has his own submissives, as well. Jon has better things to spend his money and concern on.]

[aeva]

Why would it be unnecessary?

( unless agnes like where she was living. she hadn't yet had a reason to go there to see what they were like )

[lightlessflame]

[Agnes...actually looks a bit confused at the question, like she isn't sure she heard it correctly.]

I don't need any particular comforts.

[aeva]

( that confuses her slightly, the wording of it unusual )

Don't need or don't want?

( or had her previous dominant refused it before? )

It's alright to want things.

[lightlessflame]

[Hm. Agnes considers this question as if it's deserving of careful and meticulous thought.]

There is very little I crave.

[aeva]

( she nods slowly and she supposes at one point she'd understood that - as an angel she'd only ever really lived essentially, it wasn't until she was mortal and had begun really building a life that she saw other things as more necessary, though even then her spending was more scarce than a lot of humans )

Well, if you do ever want somewhere else to live or something that you'd need me to do for you I'd be happy to help you with it.

[lightlessflame]

That's kind of you to offer.

[And a bit unwarranted, she thinks, but decides to keep to herself. Agnes looks at her coffee.]

I'll remember. Please let me know what I can do for you, at any point, contract notwithstanding.

[aeva]

I will.

( and contract aside it might be nice to have a friend, she seemed like a very nice woman and she could understand her being in an unfortunate situation )

And... I hope this works out positively for you, as strange as that sounds.

[lightlessflame]

Thank you. I think that it will.

[She's never been a fortuneteller.]

I'm relieved for a chance to move forward.
