"Oh wow..." Banda had been all but silent during the walk over; conversation just didn't seem appropriate for some reason. But once they reached the apartment, his voice returned with an exclamation of appreciation. However, he paused outside the door and removes his shoes before following her in---it wouldn't do to muddy up the carpet when he had only just gotten there. "It's very nice! And...and huge!" Banda hesitated, then turned back to Jo, smiling almost nervously. "This is...way too much, Jo. I...You could be renting this place out, or...or something. I couldn't stay here.."

Jo was a little surprised at what Banda has said. She was really just offering for him to use the shower, but it had come up in her mind, him staying here, so she went along with it. "No way! I mean, its better if its someone we know living here, and not some totaly stranger. And if it makes you feel better, maybe after you get some money you could start paying rent or something, but it probably wouldnt be much. We have spcial discounts for friends of the family." She grined, and pointed to the bathroom. "So, eh, ill let you take your shower, yes? You can just leave you clothes outside the bathroom." She nodded, and headed out the glass sliding door, sitting on the front porch in a white chair.

He silently shook his head in protest, turning to gaze around the room once more. But he could start paying soon, really... Now that he had his teaching job coming up. So it would really only be a day or two... Before he could answer either way, she gestured towards the bathroom and left out the glass door. Blinking, Banda nodded even though she was already gone, pausing outside the door and removing his coat, which he bundled up on the floor and set the still-sleeping Venoch on. Best not to wake him. After a final quick glance towards the door, Banda slipped inside the bathroom. Shower time <3

When Jo was sure Banda was in the shower, she snuck back in. Thankfully the door to the bathroom was shut. She gently scooped up his clothes. She decided that while he was taking a shower she would wash and dry them so they'd be clean for when he got out. She was about to head out to the landry room with the armful of landry when she saw the coat. It was still preety damp, and quite dirty..but Venoch was sleeping on top of it. She sliped into the lined closed and took out a pillow, and set it next to Venoch. Then very gently she lifted him up, all the while wispering, "please dont wake up, please dont wake up..." and gingerly placed him on the pillow. She then grabed the coat and threw it in with the rest of the laundry. It took a little for it to come out, but as soon as it did she folded it up, ploped it on the chair next to the bathroom, and scooted out the door and into the white chair.

Banda was half way through his shower when he realized he didn't have anything to change in to afterwards. However, he didn't dwell on the subject. He had been wearing his dirty clothes for long enough that he didn't much care anymore. But oh was it nice to be clean! The shower was perhaps a bit longer than needed, but Banda -had- to savor it. He wasn't entirely sure he was going to stay, and if he ended up leaving, it would probably be a while before he had a chance for another shower. Best enjoy being clean while he could.
After he had showered and dried off, Banda wrapped a towel around his waist and peeked out of the bathroom to check on Venoch and get his clothes. He paused, blinking in surprise when he saw the infant flopped out across a pillow, and again when he found his clothes clean and neatly folded beside the door. After sending a thankful look towards the front door and chair, Banda scooped up his clothes and ducked back into the bathroom to get dressed.
A short while later he returned and quietly snuck past Ven for the front door, sliding it open and smiling out at Jo. "Done! Thanks very much. You shouldn't have gone to so much trouble.."

"No prob." She said ajusting her glasses. "We, should probably go get something to eat. Doomi's probably done with dinner., but there'll be leftovers in the kitchen. Um...should you wake Venoch?" She said gesturing to the sleeping little lump of red still sprawled out on the pillow. The thing had been sleeping since Jo had met up with Banda. She wondered if he would freak when he found himself in a completely different place from where he had fallen asleep.

"Wake Ven, right, umm..." Banda hesitated, glancing back towards the ball of red fur laying across the pillow. After a moment, he nodded and turned, walking over and crouching beside the pillow. Then, reaching out, he lightly nudged the infant's shoulder, murmuring, "Ven? Wake up, Jo's invited up to dinner..." When there was no response, Banda sighed and tried again, lightly flicking his shoulder. "C'mon, Ven, wake up. It's time to eat din--OW."
Unhappy for the interruption to his nap, Venoch had rolled over and lashed out at the hand prodding him, grinning inwardly when he scored a long gash down the back of it before Banda could snatch it away. Cracking an eye up at the older SM, he glanced to the dripping hand and back, then yawned and stretched lazily. "Food time?"
When Banda's only reply was a nod, Ven rolled over and climbed to his feet, taking no notice of his surroundings and trotting the short distance to Banda, climbing up his leg to his knee, and leaping from there to his arm, eventually clawing his way to Banda's shoulder. Thank goodness for thick coats.
After quietly wiping his hand clean on the inside of a pocket, Banda rose to his feet and turned back to Jo, cracking a smile. "Right, so, um... Whenever you're ready."

Jo was a little horrified by the small monkeys behavior, but Banda didnt seem to be affected by it much, so she just shook it off. "Er, yea. Come this way." She said leading them into the house. The house was a mess, as usual. Clothes, toys, and people strewn about the house. Jo steped over someones sleeping body and headed into the kitchen. Doomi liked to decorate each room with a theme. The kitchen's theme was stragley, elephantes. They were everywhere, on the wallpaper, the cabinits, the napkins. The table was even shaped like a pig pink elephant. "Please egnore...well, everything." she said, opening the fridge. "Looks like we have...pasta salad, regular salad, turkey sandwiches and...cheesecake she said, getting the things one by one out of the fridge and setting them on the table. Then she got plates,and set the table, setting herself down and grabing for the pasta salad. "Here ya go, enjoy. If you dont like anything, theres probably something in the fridge. But stay clean of the peanut butter gummy worm sandwiches, those are Squidleys, and he'll have a fit if you eat em all."

Banda hardly seemed to notice the mess, or, if he did, he pretended not to. Venoch, on the other hand, sneered in disdain at the various clothes and toys strewn across the floor. How pitiful. Upon reaching the kitchen, he hopped down onto the table and watched hungrily as Jo set out the food, earning himself a warning glare from Banda. Ignoring it, he helped himself to a turkey sandwich and curled up to enjoy himself...meanwhile eyeing the cheesecake.
Sighing an apology to Jo, Banda sunk down into a chair, eyes wandering the spread before he helped himself to a turkey sandwich of his own and some salad. "Thanks very much, Jo. You've no idea what a big help this is..."

Jo had engored the way Ven had acted. Her siblings acted the same way close to dinner time, so she was used to it. "Really, dont worry about it." She said through a mouthful of pasta. "I mean, just think as it as staying over visting for a couple of days when your not paying, and when you are, its your apartment, we just happen to live infront of you."
It was then when a pink head poped around the corner. "Hey, Banda's hear!" Yelled Doomi, and tackled Banda in a big warm hug. When she straighted up, she grined down at Venoch. "And who is this?" She was wearing a pink tee-shirt, with the words, "Huggle!" written across it, and black arm socks, and black baggy capri pants with pockets, and sandals.
"Mum, Bandas and Venoch are gonna be staying with us for a couple of days, then there gonna be renting out the back apartment, ok?"
A huge grin spread across Doomi's face "Yay! Banda is going to living with us? How fuuun!" She said, giving a little twirl. A crash then could be heard from the living room, followed by a series of curses. Doomi looked towards the living room, then back at them. "Well, I better go see about that. "If you need anything, im here, and Jo is too." She said, and hoped out towards the living room.
"Sorry about that." Said Jo shaking her head. "Mom doesnt know the meaning of personal space."

Banda nodded slightly in reply to Jo's words, silently agreeing, but nontheless very thankful for her generosity. He began to speak, but was nearly knocked out of his chair when Doomi tackled him, and settled to merely clinging to her for dear life until he regained his balance. Chuckling softly, he cracked a grin in greeting, murmuring 'Hallo, Doomi" before simply settling down to 'listen' in on her and Jo's conversation.
He grinned in relief when she seemed to approve of the idea, though it faltered slightly as both Doomi and Jo looked towards the crash--he hadn't heard it. He slowly turned towards it, blinking curiously, but almost immediately lost interest and returned to his meal, nodding his thanks to Doomi before she bustled off. Turning his eyes to Jo, he smiled. "Don't worry about it. Mine's the same way, trust me."

Jo smiled at the thought of her mother friend Moofuls, they were both the strangest people Jo had ever met. But they both just needed some getting used to. Jo remebered when she first came to live with Doomi, how she dreamed of running away from the madhouse. But things had gotten much better since then.
Jo finished up her dinner, cleaned up her mess, and then turned back to Banda. He probably wanted his privacy, and some time to get settled in his new apartment. "Er, well, im gonna head upstairs, I have some things to get done before bed." She said gestureing towards the stairs.

Banda finished his meal at about the sime as Jo, and help to clean up the mess. (Ven was busy finishing off a second turkey sandwich and just ignored them.) Returning to the table, he nodded slightly in reply to Jo's words, smiling warmly. "Aye, um.. Ven and I'll just head back to the apartment, I s'pose. Again, thanks so much, Jo."
He waited until she had gone, then scooped up Ven (sandwich and all) and deposited the infant, who growled, on his shoulder, heading back outside and to the apartment..
