Trey sat on his bed, hand to his chin in thought. He’s been there for at least twenty, no, thirty minutes now completely lost in thought; his minds buzzing with ideas and possibilities. He knew better than to hesitate, he really did, but he felt doubt creeping in.

Nix was someone who, quickly, became important to him – a blush came to his cheeks at that thought – and he wanted to do this right.

He had asked Cater for advice about asking him out, but all he got was a laugh from his closest and dearest person that he’d know what to do when the time came. And yet, here he was; pondering and pondering away.

Trey faced the window, it being open to let in the autumn breeze, as he thought.

❛Maybe I can bake him something. . .❜ Was a thought that went through his mind, but that was his go-to solution for everything he didn’t know the answer too. Baking always brought on answers, he found, and he let out a sigh from his lips.

Aeternus lets out a gasp surprise but quickly realizing who it is, the young man of time soon smiled at her and put his tea cup down to give Nix a hug in return. A part of him didn't want to let go of her either but he knew that for the other to join him in having tea, she needed to sit down and have herself a cup too.

  “ A-Are you free right now ? I’ve brought a couple of things. ” 

  Her hand digs back into the bags that she’d dropped in the living room of their shared housing. The rustling sound of plastic echoes through the room before it stops when she presents a couple of different fabrics to Nix. The hues varied amongst all of them -- red wine, light grey, royal purple -- as well as deviations from solid colour to more patterned designs. 

  “ I bought these from the school’s shop to make bedding sets for everyone. ”

  Well, the true purpose is to start sprucing up this rundown place they call a dorm. Nothing had been replaced in here for decades ! On top of that, given the circumstances of their stay here, it would be better to lift the mood than let it linger in an unpleasant state. Besides, if it’ll keep her and everyone else busy and out of trouble, then that’s even better. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved. 

"Oh goodness!! Are you alright??" Odessa's attention tore from her stage manager as she rushed to his side, kneeling beside him and placing a hand on his forehead.

"You fainted, it startled me..."

She turned to security and waved them to bring water over, taking it and handing it to Nix.

Lettie's hands froze, sewing something else for their little shop before setting her project down to go examine Nix's handiwork. Letting it go and going to get what he was referring to...

"hmm...."

"wh- Oh...I guess I never noticed." Yuuji closed their textbook and rubbed their forehead, thank god a well deserved break from work to think about something else.

They took the scarf from Nix and looked at it, a pause, gears turning in their head before they gave him a small smile.

"....huh...~"

Yuzuki set her guitar down against her decrepit dresser as she went to look at the quilt, picking it up with a smile, going to lean out her door to look in the direction of Nix's room... then leaning back in and going to pick one of the many books she lent from the library to curl up with in her new blanket.
