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.

[leylined]

...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.

[leylined]

[Forget Cabeswater. Adam would take the job of killing Kavinsky pro bono if that happened.] They have a garden center, yeah. They should be able to tell us what can survive the winter and what can't. And even if we don't get lucky on new stuff, they have tools.

[safe_as_life]

Sounds good to me. I don't think I've ever been there before. We can fit everything in the trunk no problem. [Off to the Camaro they go]
