Welcome to Gaia! ::

"That is probably going to be a priceless expression when he realizes it." Nasir groaned, head tilting back but eyes on the road all the same. "I'm glad it's okay with him. Wil ..." He shook his head. "I'm just glad things are okay with the two of you enough that he's fine with you moving out."

He glanced towards Zac out of the corner of his eye. "Ah, we do have a chore breakdown. You can just offer to take over some things. We usually just alternate and," a chuckle, "I never turn down help in the kitchen."

At least he did not anymore. A year or so ago, he might have but he had learned how to accept help when it came to the kitchen.

"That's fine," Nasir was free with his smiles and his grins, "just like I said, I'm teaching Vesper some things here and there, so if you want to help out you can." He chuckled. "Honestly before we have some people in the house we were just warming up things that I made at work and brought home."

Long enough got a side-eye look from Nasir but he said nothing.

"I'd love to teach you Go. I haven't been able to play anyone in a while." Then, of course, they were pulling up to the house. It was a nice three story house, the first floor lights on and a couple lights on on the third floor. "Here we are!"

Nasir was parking, turning off the car, and resituating his hairclips since Mogget had claimed the one that smelled like cinnamon.

Nasir seemed to sense that there was, perhaps, something else unsettling Zac but he would instead focus on getting him something warm to eat. "It didn't sound weird. You just got back from being lost and clearly there's, ah, things going on so ..."

A hand was waved and he was pulling the trunk release. "You're welcome to stay here as long as you need or as little." Somehow Nasir managed to get out of the car with Mogget around his shoulders (the kitty with the moon shaped brows was just a pro, he would tell you so). He was totally planning on carrying the duffel.

"Also why would I make fun of the panda? I've still got a stuffed llama plush in my room that my mother got me when I was first born." It was true and it sat on a shelf in his room because his mother had refused to let him leave without it.

"No judging is a probably one of the few rules we have of the house that everyone has to abide by." Nasir took it seriously. "... and don't worry about it! You've had a rough time and I can carry things easily. I, ah ..." He chuckled. "Wil tends to be very sleepy so I'm used to carrying much heavier." Mostly because he gave the blonde piggy back rides all the time.

"So don't worry about, you're welcome, and anytime, Zac." There was a nice wrap around covered porch area that went from the front of the house and slightly down one of the sides. "... 'sides I'll let you carry it once we're inside." Nasir was giving him another warm, friendly smile. The duffle was set down on the porch as he fished into his pockets for his keys.

Holding the keys up to the light, he was squinting to make sure he had the right one. Only to laugh when a white paw reached out to pull the keys closer and inspect them. There was a sparkly thing in there.

"That would be fun," the stick toy, "though if you're staying a while we may just have to pick up a few extra things for him." Nasir wiggled the keys a bit more until Mogget actually managed to select out the house key. Carefully pulling it from his claws, the young man was putting the key in and opening it up.

It was a spacious open area immediately, a staircase that went upstairs visible. "It probably does, Zac," he agreed, "but at least here it won't do that. We have a very serious rule about shoes not dropping on people around here." Mostly because Nasir took it seriously to look after people's wellbeing.

His head tilted towards going inside.

"I am suddenly thinking about you being on the roof, watching out for falling shoes." Nasir shook his head in amusement. "... and don't worry about that. You can pick up extra things but we all keep the house clean. It's part of living here."

He was herding Zac towards the kitchen. It was ridiculously large, bigger than what he worked in at Darlene's, with an island counter in the middle. "Set your duffel down, we can take it up to your room in a little bit." Moving to the cabinets, he was opening them up to reveal a wide selection of tins. If there was flavor of tea or coffee, it might just be in there. "Tea or hot cocoa?" No coffee, it was too late for that.

"There's actually a way up there through the attic." Nasir replied as he was pulling down a cocoa mix. It had cinnamon in it and Mogget was definitely interested in that. So interested that he finally hopped off of the man's shoulders and sniffed at the container.

"We've got a blanket and a couple other things that you can specifically use to lay out on the roof. Just have to say you're going to be up there if you're going alone." Zac was thrown a sheepish look over his shoulder because he was a worrier.

"Hopefully you don't mind it with actual milk? Or would you prefer water?" Some people were weird and did not like their cocoa made with warm milk.

Nasir did not understand these people.
