"I could always leave for a while if you needed privacy." She blinked at them both, PRETTY sure she could ah... wander around... right?
Maybe explore the food place down below, it DID smell good.
"Or i could uh.. i dont know. Cover my eyes?" CLEARLY that solved the problem, clearly. She didn't have any money or... ..... let alone remember what she liked to eat, besides tacos she had earlier, so she would leave food up to them.

Zac arched an eyebrow at Ever and his broke-ness. A pointed look, while he assumed it was a drinking thing, he thought at least Ever had the sense to save for FOOD so... "That deserves an explanation... but fortunately Scheelite send over some funds. We can set up for a little while... god knows I don't want you guys starving or living on e-z-mac and Italian left overs."
"B....Sabine... the privacy goes for BOTH of you..." He said waving his hand at the room in general. I mean YES he probably doesn't care BUT... a little modesty..."

Ever sank down to sit on the edge of the bed, legs sprawled out and eyes on Zac -- but unfocused, distracted. That probably did deserve an explanation, but not while Sabine was around. It would take two or three times as long, while she was around...eventually, he blinked himself into focus, probably realizing he should at least pretend at responding.
"...ramen? Could just buy a lot of ramen..." He hesitated. Zac was going to give him a hard time for that but -- he shrugged. Too bad, it was a good idea. "And an electric kettle maybe?"

A flush ran across her face. "Gay or not it does not mean I'm going to streak around naked! Memory or not... I'm not that stupid you know. I have...some sense of self worth!" NOW she was just pouting, looking away from them she crossed her arms, still red in the face, with a huff.
Still looking away from them both, she added "..Honestly i don't remember what food i like and....don't like. So whatever you can get is fine. Its too much to ask you to pay to feed me in the first place. Beggars cant be choosers."

"I wasn't meaning that! I just meant it might be better IF... oh lord." He slumped slightly giving up and surrendering to the idea that he was bound to offend everyone in the room at least once before the day was over.
"I'll concede the ramen...maybe a crock pot? Would either of you use that without burning the place down?" He glanced between them carefully.
"Kettle and crock pot... you could do a lot with both with very little space?"
God he needed his own place...or a place where they could all...
He shook his head shoving the thought aside and wished not for the first time that he could have raided the very briefly owned 'Beth' apartment. However he couldn't swear that things found there might not trigger bad things for her so it must be avoided at all costs. Never mind that things vanishing from that place would be regarded as suspicious giving that 'Beth' had vanished from the world and not even their Father would know she was now "Sabine."

"I think he was more worried I'd streak around naked." He nudged Sabine gently with one foot, easily teasing, shaking his head just a little as he leaned back on the bed. Dark eyes settled on Zac, as if daring him to say something in reply to that, fingers shifting a little against the blankets.
"I've been living on my own for about four years now, and I've never burned anyplace down. And I've made a lot of ramen and instant..." That got a pause, a raised eyebrow, hopefully. "...instant rice. Kettle, crock pot, microwave?"

The poking of the toe got a bit of a 'SQUEEK' out of the girl as she looked around once more at them both. ....Reaching a foot out, she poked him back with her shoe. Uh oh, was Sabine going to learn habits from Ever? "I would prefer you keep your clothing on please! You seem nice ever....but... i dont think i want to know you -THAT- well, ok."
A short laugh. "Well... maybe it better you do the cooking then. I dont want to burn your place down... never having cooked that is" Zac should know for a fact Sabine should never ever EVER go near the kitchen.
"..... can we sometime find out whatever smells good down stairs?"

Zac -stared- between them both before giving Ever a long hard look trying to convey in one prolonged dagger like unblinking -stare- that he had BETTER not teach this impressionable young Senshi -anything- that he would regret. That, being most likely, most of Ever's own behavior.
The idea of Ever prancing around the apartment -naked- however got quite a different reaction, he reached up to yank at his ear, just at the edge of the industrial and glanced sharply away as though that alone could hide the insufferable and inescapable blush creeping in.
"Um... we'll introduce you slowly to the Kitchen ok?" He said with an expression flickering across his face that said it was VERY much a bad idea to do so at -any- time and a second meaningful warning glance at Ever. "If we toss some Soup and an um...Crock Pot cookbook into the Mix i'm sure Ever won't mind when he's not at work..."

Ever was grinning at him easily: until the words 'at work', which killed the smile and faded him into something uneasy again, instead. He made a noise, looking away, scratching at his stomach through his shirt and hiking his shoulders in a dismissive sort of shrug.
"I'll stick around for the time being." There, that worked: make it a favor to Zac that he wasn't going into the library. The idea relaxed him a little. "We can go out, and make food together, and...and stay on top of things, you know."
But he didn't look up at Zac immediately.

"Why is your face turning red, brother?" Green eyes, something resembling that of a deer in headlights in size, stared back at him wide and unblinking. Blinking maybe a few seconds later before shrugging it off to look between the two men again.
She was starting to realize they were both awkward around each other at times, pretty sure her presence doesn't help matters much.
"Yoooou two are kinda weird around each other man." Arms still crossed, she stuck her hip out to one side in a '....well?' kind of manner.
"...But if we did want food maybe we should go soon? um... places have closing times...right?" Not that she actually knew them. "...This amnesia thing kind of....sucks." Looking around the room once more, she walked (more like bounced) towards the door, opened it, and held it open for them.

"Nothing!" He said all to quickly, no need to share the thoughts that had danced quite unbidden through his head, well, half bidden perhaps given that Ever had made that flippant comment about prancing naked though the apartment.
"And I'm not 'weird' around him, it's just strange moving people into somewhere where someone else is already living ok?" He flustered and shook his head. "And...I said I ordered food...it SHOULD be here soon..." he glanced at his watch and then made a frustrated sound.

Ever blew a sharp breath out of his nose and seemed to reach some kind of decision. Abruptly he pushed himself up to stand, shaking his head and reaching out to nab Sabine's wrist. He could draw her back into the room, close the door, and then set about a more proper tour of the place. The bed, which would be hers. The bathroom and his limited supply of toiletries which she was welcome to but probably wouldn't want. Surely she'd find something better.
View out the window onto a relatively-busy street was nice, too, as was the short and stout little dresser which currently sat empty and she could use. His things all fit in his bag. Better that way, a comment that he supplied flippantly. By the time they were done poking around, the food would almost certainly be there.

Yelping as she was grabbed initially, she started to pull away out of instinct, but noticed the touch was gentle somehow... so she allowed him to pull her around the room. The tour was quick, it was not detailed... it was right to the point and easy to remember. Clearly it was a way to show her around, and keep her busy too.
She totally forgot Zac had ordered the food....
Soon afterwords, Sabine still staring out the window a light knock on the door signaled the food was there. Which, turned out to be take out chinese. Of COURSE sabine was the one to answer the door, to the dislike of the two men probably... she just got there first. Short s**t was fast.
She could at least carry the food in, so she did and left the other two to converse with the doorman.
Some time after, she looked back at them both. "I apologize for being so..." She waved her hand in the air, something she clearly picked up from Zac in the times she saw him doing it. A moment later, she pulled something towards her. It was rice... fried rice? How she knew that, no clue.

Zac paid the delivery man and helped take the rest of the brown paper bags and little white paper pails that were delivered.
There was a damned good quantity there given he'd opted both for take out AND to order family size. For some reason "Men at Wok" always gave larger portions for take out on its own, adding family size meant that if they got a fridge they would be set for a good while just on the Fried Rice and 'rib-lets', but he'd also ordered a small Crab Rangoon, Chicken fingers and Teriyaki Steak... half because he couldn't remember what Beth had liked, and the other because he had no idea what EVER would like.
As far as he was concerned the complimentary Egg rolls were for anyone BUT him....disgusting things.
The only down side was that the Soda delivered was... a 2 liter bottle, not the singles he had intended. "Crap...." he cursed, pulling it out of a paper bag and staring at it like it was in its own way, offensive.

The egg rolls could be Ever's; whatever Zac handed him, basically, he would take and devour. Not a bottomless pit, he was actually just empty, needed the sustenance, forgot to eat too much and smoked too much and generally didn't have a healthy and well-fed apetite...
He perched on the edge of the bed again, squirting duck sauce onto the end of an egg roll and working his way through it, eyes tracking Zac's frustrated movement for a bit before he forced himself to refocus on Sabine. "...I think that's it. I don't know. That's basically my life...what else does she need to know?"
