[He wants to tell Adam to just ignore him, but he knows that would be unfair] But it isn't fair. You belong there. You belong with us, not him. You come first, always. My god, that's not even a question.

[leylined]

You don't even think that's true anymore. If you kick out Kavinsky, we lose Lynch. You said it yourself.

[safe_as_life]

What do you mean I don't think that's true? Of course it's true. We want you there, Adam.

I'll talk to Ronan. I'll work something out.

[leylined]

No. Don't. This one isn't your fight for once. I'll talk to him about it. It's my problem.

[safe_as_life]

I honestly think it would be better coming from me.

[leylined]

You know he hates that kind of thing. But if you think it's better, I guess I'll follow you on this one.

[safe_as_life]

What would even say?

[leylined]

...I don't even know, honestly.

[safe_as_life]

Look, I'll just tell him that you're considering coming to stay there, but there are too many people with Kavinsky around and maybe he can go home. [Which sort of goes against what they were talking about before, but he doesn't care, he'd rather have Adam there]

[leylined]

He really wouldn't take that well.

[safe_as_life]

Ronan wants you there too, Adam. I know he does. We can all work something out.

[leylined]

It's fine. I'm not even sure if I want to, yet.

[safe_as_life]

Yeah... okay. I know, I'm getting ahead of myself here. My brain has been on overdrive lately.

[leylined]

And Kavinsky isn't my only reason for it being a no for now thing. I kind of like living on my own.

[safe_as_life]

Oh. Alright. Well... do you like it here? At St. Agnes, I mean.

[leylined]

It's...nice. Sometimes.

[safe_as_life]

We could find you a better place? If you want to.

[leylined]

Thanks, but no thanks. I appreciate the help you guys are giving, really, I do. And as crappy as it is, it's about the only thing left that I have that I can say is mine by way of something I worked for. I'm not ready to let it go just yet.

[safe_as_life]

Alright. No problem. It's not even that bad. The tree really livens the place up. We can get it another one for company.

[leylined]

I was actually thinking about getting some Clivia to liven it up a little.

[And thus his hobby is found. Watch out, Gansey. Come spring Monmouth is going to look like Oz.]

[safe_as_life]

[Monmouth could use some livening up too, really]

Really? Is there a hidden gardener in there we didn't know about?

[leylined]

Maybe. It was just a thought. Besides, I've been doing pretty much that with tending the ley line.

[safe_as_life]

I think that's great. It's something to do and if you're getting good at it, why not.

...Would you like to go to Home Depot with me?

[safe_as_life]

Home Depot? They have plants there? Sure. [He smiles] Yeah, I'll go with you. We could probably use more at Monmouth. [Though he has a feeling Kavinsky might pee in them. He shudders] Maybe I'll wait with those.
