"I don't blame you at all really," Kenichi nodded. "From what I understand, back in Crystallis, the heroes didn't have to deal with housing issues like this. To be honest, this is a first for me too."

For Kenichi, the Inari manor had been his home for most of his life. Unlike his godly peers, he did explore outside the district where they resided though he mostly experienced that through crashing couches of his friends.

"I'm embarrassed that it's taken me this long, but I was thinking about moving to Sparks Golsaucia. As much as I'd love to live in Nakagawa, it's rather out of way from major cities. So you're welcome to come live with me if you like." Given the fact Bonnie had her fair share of hardship since she came to the Inari manor, this was the very least he could do to help her and keep an eye out on her.

Bonnie shook her head. The city of Aqures Ixen made arrangements for the Heroes, and while that did cause some unrest when the city came under attack by the Empire, the Heroes did their best to make sure that the people of the city weren't left behind while they were being pampered. All of this on the other hand felt a bit like they were being treated like unexpected but also somewhat unwanted guests.

"I, um, I'd appreciate that, kupo. As long as it doesn't interfere with my own job. I'm working as a postmoogle in Tark Varentain, kupo." She pouted, rocking back and forth as she dabbed her paw on her chin. "Do you think they'll let me commute, kupo?"

The idea sounded nice though. The people she was staying with were nice but it wasn't the same as it was back in Crystallis. She had to admit she was feeling a bit lonely. Maybe that's why she was acting up so much. Like trying to will a change into being by wishing loud enough.

"Hmm that is quite a distance if I'm remembering the geography right," Kenichi scratched his chin as he mentally visualized a map of the world.

"If they're uncomfortable with the idea of a long commute, you could always suggest a transfer? Also, I hope you don't mind if Ira drops in now and then. I did offer him a place to crash if he needs it."

"Hmmm, I can try doing that, kupo. I picked that location because that's where my guilds are." She frowned as she chewed it over. She wanted convenience but she also wanted to be diligent at everything she was trying to do. Really, she wasn't worried about gathering up too much at once. She wasn't there yet. But the world WAS a big place.

"I'm sure we can find a way to make it work, kupo. Um...thank you for being so kind, kupo." She didn't feel like she was imposing back in his world, but Saori and Mary were there. Compared to them she barely knew him. But she was happy he was watching out for her, even if he wasn't her first choice.

[failtsuninari]

He nods and smiles. "You're welcome, Bonnie. It's the least I can do since you've dealt with Yae and Toshi so much. I realize they can be a handful." Not that he could blame them since they had never seen anyone like Bonnie before. There was also the fact that Saori would've easily done the same in his place.

"I may not be home often since I'm starting work in airship piloting though. Will you be alright with that?"

[kuposcreed]

"Ah, well. If my guilds are in Tark Varentain then I'll be traveling a bunch too, kupo. Maybe we can travel together sometimes." She didn't mean to make assumptions or to impose but the idea of having companionship she was familiar with was running just a bit away from her.

Still, the mention of his and Saori's children made her hesitate in her own excitement. "How...how are you doing, kupo?" It couldn't be easy being separated like this. It wasn't for Saori, it seemed to her, despite the brave face the woman put on.
