[senri blinks in surprise at the question, but chooses to answer honestly:]
I went to take care of Taka first. [so he did that earlier, and made sure that Taka, before anyone else, was okay. because at the end of the day, he's dating Taka, and he's loyal, and he'd do anything for him. he knows that it's best if he and Tamaki know that.
. . . that said.]
.... I do need to go back eventually -
But do you want me to stay with you a little longer?
[because they're friends. and because no matter how weird it is, if tamaki wants senri to stay with him, senri will do that too. because he's bad at leaving anyone, most of all tamaki, alone.]
[Antoinette immediately nyooms over to the bed, jumping up and almost knocking Senri out of the way to lick Tamaki's face, barking all the way. It at least gets Tamaki to laugh though as his hands let go of Senri to try and control his dog.]
Antoinette--ahaha--stop that! This is no way for a lady to behave! [He pushes at his dog's face even as he allows her to bodyslam into him.]
I wouldn't necessarily call it a debt, but you do have some things to make up for, Little Rabbit. [Like BREAKING HIS HEART?? But in all seriousness, he scoots back a little.] ...I can summon things. Or we can just talk? [Netflix and chill but literally just watching godly Netflix.]
[Senri laughs a little bit at that, terribly endeared at the amount of love that Antoinette gives Tamaki. he moves to join him on the bed, kneeling as he crawls his way over and occupies the side of Tamaki that Antoinette isn't on.]
... I could go for some mindless movie. Something cute, maybe?
[Senri and Tamaki watched tangled, text it.]
We can just talk too - I like hearing about you and your friends.
[and he's just a touchy kind of person so he'll settle himself snug against Tamaki]
[Antoinette settles just enough even as she wags her tail and woofs at Tamaki again. The bow she's wearing today is one of the ones Senri left as an offering as well, and it's maybe for that reason that Tamaki gives Senri room to join him. He shifts to accommodate the extra weight of both dog and rabbit, looking up toward the ceiling as a TV just kind of. Descends down from it.]
We could do both? It's been a while since I've seen anything. [Movie-wise or friend-wise from the old life.] A fictional happy ending sounds nice to see.
[Well, he's going to scoot all of them back so they can lean against the headboard. The stuffed pup is held in his lap and the book's knocked aside as the real dog rests her head on his knee and Senri's settled against his side.]
No, that was how I designed this room. Any of us could have done that.
[why did Tamaki even pretend he was reading. Senri pauses for a second before he laughs. he'll even rearrange Tamaki's arm so that it fits around him comfortably, though admittedly more around his shoulders than his waist just bc it reads as vaguely more platonic
as he leans his head against tamaki's shoulder as opposed to his chest because
[Tamaki's doing his best and he doesn't even protest this. This is what he'd do with Kyoya, he thinks, if, like, Kyoya even allowed touching in the first place.
Nevertheless the TV hangs at the perfect height and a remote appears out of nowhere? They're definitely watching Tangled even though that was after Tamaki's time period. It's on godly Netflix, why not. It's a creation he can make himself.]
I've never designed something like this before. [For why he's proud.] Haruhi would probably think it's impractical, but it's similar to my bedroom from the second estate.
[senri and haruhi honestly would get along if only for the fact that they both retain common sense. this is super odd. it doesn't make sense.
but as they both pretend that they're only each other's best friends, senri will yawn a little if only because he's comfortable and reach out to pet antoinette as he relaxes]
[senri tries to remember the word that tamaki used - he doesn't look up at him, but instead keeps his eye son the movie screen so he doesn't feel too watched and picked apart - ]
[He makes zero movements with his own arms, but he allows it. Antoinette huffs a little as she nuzzles against Tamaki's leg.]
She likes to explore the estate as it is. I can't imagine how much she'd enjoy somewhere new. It's why she stays here instead of roaming the temple. [...] ...Antoinette was a welcome gift when I arrived in Japan. She was waiting for me at the second estate...she's been a very good friend ever since she was a puppy.
Alright. [Agreeable.] She likes you very much, I'm sure she'll agree. And with new wings every week there will be new places to explore.
Whenever you have time, we're yours. [He should maybe not say stuff like that but even when they first met he'd said something similar. This is easier than thinking about a life that doesn't even exist anymore, at least.]

…just for a little while? The company is nice.
[i.e. he's lonely, please send help.]
no subject
Come here, An-chan! I think Tama-chin deserves some love and care, don't you?
[and he turns back to Tamaki with a smile]
I do have people to take care of - yourself included. I think I owe you quite a debt, you know? So I'd like to start to make up for that.

Do rich people just summon TVs from the ceiling....

No, that was how I designed this room. Any of us could have done that.

Second estate....?
no subject
Yes. I wasn't allowed to live in the main mansion yet. But it's alright. The second estate isn't as large as my house was in France, but it was nice.
no subject
The negotiations?
no subject
Yes.

casual.

... I bet An-chan would go wild if you had too much space for her anyway. So many adventures to be had.

Could we take An-chan on a walk next time? Or i can do it for you, if you can't.
... does An-chan get a mask...?
no subject
We can go together if you'd like though. She would like the fresh air. I try to walk her and play with her when the temple's most quiet.
