Eulalia Danae Roxanna smiled, "A base of operations, of course, but I'm not sure how comfortable it would be to snuggle all of us so close together in an apartment smaller than this one, especially long term." "It's not that bad, it's got enough couches we should all be alright." He shrugged, stretching. "And it doesn't have to be for long term, just till we figure somewhere better." He nodded at the window. "And people will likely start noticing that."

Roxanna gave another nod. "I'll take a couch. I'd rather not kick you out of a bed again." She set the ice pack she was holding on her head onto a counter. "When will we be moving in?"

"Well, sometime today. We can text Rook and Kat the location, but we want to move out soon."

Maya looked back and forth between the two as they discussed their plans, nodding almost imperceptably to herself. She rummaged in the fridge, just in case it might be a while before they get to eat something, and whipped up a concoction of leftover meat, barbeque sauce, ranch salad topping, and some shredded cheese, which she nuked in the microwave and happily dug in.

Roxanna nodded, passing by Maya as she started heading back towards the room she'd been staying in. "I'll gather my things, and Kat's. Then it would probably be best to leave."

Eulalia Danae Roxanna nodded, passing by Maya as she started heading back towards the room she'd been staying in. "I'll gather my things, and Kat's. Then it would probably be best to leave." Jarred nodded, moving about to do the same. He grabbed a pair of suitcases to fill, moving into his room as well to start packing up some of his clothes and various other things. "So how are you taking this, Roxanna?" Rex stayed on his couch, watching Maya.

"How am I taking what?" Roxanna asked, collecting things like a drone. She paused and sat on the edge of Jarred's bed, setting her bag of things to the side. "Nick would be yelling his head off at me right now. 'Don't attract attention, Anna. Don't let others know you know, no matter what. Don't interefere, even if you think you can help.'" She let out a long breath fiddling with stub of her missing pinky finger. "Technically this should all be normal to me, Jarred. So perhaps the question should be how are you taking this?"

"Me? What's happened to me? I learned of the existence of the supernatural and had a window broken. I'd be disapointed if I found this less than fun." He threw some clothing into his bag, slipping a box from his closet in as well. "I'm worried about you, though." He bent over piling a few more things in, but turning his head to face her.
"You've lost a lot, Roxanna. I hate to open fresh wounds, but this has been a bad few weeks for you. How are you taking it?"

"It's kind of you to worry for me." A faint smile crossed her lips, and she made a slight motion with her head. "I haven't bothered to think about it. Takes up too much time when there are other things more pressing to think on." Her shoulders raised up and fell, "I prefer not to think of myself as one to dwell in self-pity."

Eulalia Danae "It's kind of you to worry for me." A faint smile crossed her lips, and she made a slight motion with her head. "I haven't bothered to think about it. Takes up too much time when there are other things more pressing to think on." Her shoulders raised up and fell, "I prefer not to think of myself as one to dwell in self-pity." Jarred didn't say anything, but he did pause his packing. "Respectable thing to do, but they're things that should be addressed. I tore myself up after my grandfather's death before I finally dealt with it." His smile had a touch of bitterness to it. "You saw Rex's reaction when I joked about alcohol. People put things off, but we've all got to face it eventually." He stood up, zipping the suitcase shut. "I'll go talk with the manager downstairs. I'll meet you all down there." Jarred stepped out and took the elevator. He shook his head no slightly when Rex made a move to follow him, his eyes briefly darting to the room Roxanna was in, and to Maya before the doors closed. Rex sighed and laid back down.

Roxanna said with a soft nod, "eventually, perhaps. When there is time for me to grieve I will." She gave him a slight wave as he headed out. She frowned slightly, hoping she hadn't hurt him somehow. She let out a quick sigh as she finished up with her packing and brought her bag out to the main room and setting it down.
She turned and to gather up Kat's and Rook's items as well, figuring it wise to save them all some time.

Maya listened silently to the conversation. She stood up and walked into the Jarreds room and started to help Roxanna pack things. When they neared the end she stood up and stretched and cracked her neck. "I...I mean...Sigh..Never mind. Idiot!! Why the hell do you always gotta screw things up!?...Would it be appropriate to express sorrow at your loss? I have heard that sometimes people do not like this." Maya cocked her head at Roxanna.

Roxanna gave her a smile, "It is appropriate, and your compassion is appreciated, but not necessary. At the moment our minds should be on more pressing issues." She glanced around at the bags, picking up as many as she could carry. "we should head down to Jarred." She glanced at Rex, not exactly sure what to do with him. "Will you be coming too?" The moment she asked it, she realized it was slightly stupid talking to a dog, but she had no idea what else to do.

Rex met her gaze, nodding. He trotted over to her, picking up one of the smaller bags in his mouth by it's handle. He got on his hind legs and hit the elevator button, stepping in when it arrived, and hit the lobby button, waiting for them.

Roxanna watched with slight trepidation, but reminded herself to breathe and give Rex a "good boy," before glancing back at Maya. "I suppose that means we head down to the lobby." She moved into the elevator, setting her bags down.
She continued to watch the dog a few moments more. "Do you want to push the button Rex, or should I?"
