Pretty As A Picture

The half-ass wave gets a raised brow, but Angelo waves him in anyway. Alright, not much of a talker. He could work with that. Recognition flashes across his face when the other man says that he's probably seen him at the Comic Barn and Angelo nods.

"Yeah, actually, I think you're th' one that gave me the comics for my nephew. He loved 'em by the way. So thanks for that."

"How long have you been looking for a roommate?" Maybe they guy was desperate, that would help because Edric wasn't sure he was in the mood to be perfectly pleasant.

Edric Blight

Angelo needed a roommate. Not because he was lonely, or because the place was too big, but because he needed to be able to split rent. And after his other roommate left unexpectedly, landing Ange with the entire rent, he'd had to dip into his savings to pay it.

Not that he didn't have the money, but still - principle of the thing.

So he'd put out an ad, and someone had answered it, one of the college kids from the university. Guy seemed nice enough, so Angelo scheduled a time for him to come over and tour the flat. Apartment. Whatever.

At precisely five minutes after being buzzed into the building, Angelo hears a knock on the door. When he opens it, there's a dark haired guy, one that looks vaguely familiar in that 'we live in a small town' way, smiling at him.

Ange gives a grin back and nods, holding the door wider for him.

"That would be me. I've seen you around the comic barn here and there I think?"

And on the height of everything with the Boiling Isles, he felt even more lost and displaced.

He didn't know if he could find that again but at least he could get a roof over his head.

Knocking on the door he smiled at the guy.

"Looking for a roommate right?"

"That's wild. No offense. Y'all have, like, an emperor, right? Is it just all him, making these calls?" Now Phineas was curious. "Or are there checks and balances and stuff? Sorry, I just realized I've never actually thought about it that much."

"I don't really know if anyone like checks him but it's always been that way. Not a big deal of him being in charge when it's all just chill and it's a smallish place you know?"

But was it bad. Was it wrong?

Should he worry about not being able to stay away?
