Handsome Jack here! I'm way too busy being awesome to answer the phone, but tell me why you're calling and if you're important enough, your people will hear from my people.

I, I know, but...I'm just nervous. [ Hearing that Jack is getting another housemate kind of eases things, though! Maybe he'll say there's too much room and Rhys came a little too late, and it's back off to Athena. He doesn't want to come off as being uncomfortable about moving in, but it's pretty obvious. And not because Jack's freaking him out, because he's not. Jack's hung out with him a lot lately. ]

...I want to at least tell her I'm leaving. Just leaving without telling her seems like an asshole thing to do. [ He shrugs. ] It won't take long. But I'll do it out of the house so she doesn't, uh. Suspect anything.

You do whatever you want, cupcake.

[Jack settles in on the couch with a yawn, and rubs the bridge of his nose.]

I don't care what you tell her, I'm also not your parent or your parole officer. I'm your friend. Spare room's furnished, but...you know. It's a spare room.

[Manaka gets the other room. The room that he'd already decided, some time ago, was his daughter's room.]

You can do what ya want with it, I really don't care. Upstairs has a half-bathroom, you can use that one. Master bedroom's got it's own, so you pretty much got it to yourself. Uh...don't touch my food, don't mess with my laundry, you can pay rent by cleaning up and keeping the fridge stocked. Me'n Manaka both cook, so that's all covered...uh...

[Shit, how long has it been since Jack was moving in an actual roommate? He can barely remember. That was...Christ, back before he was married the first time.]

I dunno, I haven't lived with anybody that I wasn't related to or banging in...probably since you were like an actual infant.

[ This all...sounds pretty damn great, actually! There's not much Rhys brought with him: spare clothes, a different pair of shoes, his pokes and a few little extra things he's gotten since coming here. So unpacking won't be too much of a problem!

It feels nice to actually have a home. Something Rhys couldn't say he had back in their world. Since, y'know. It was completely wrecked.

He's got a big smile on his face, until Jack talked about banging people. Uh, ew. ] Uhhh....that's great? I think?

[ Rhys shakes his head. ] I'm just gonna throw my stuff upstairs.

[ And that he does! Rhys looks in to see what his new room is like - everything looks great! - and flops his things down. Next he's off to the bathroom, because when was the last time he actually had a shower in a bathroom that was more or less his? He'll leave everything just lying out, pokegear and all. ]
