[They'd agreed to a week. A week without incident, of rest and recovery. Then, the unspoken half of it went, they would go their separate ways.

But after ten whole days without another word said about moving or kicking out...

The video feed kicks on in the early afternoon, aimed at one of the plain white walls of 2-21.]

This is unacceptable.

[Sherlock Holmes is back on his feet and physically feeling much better.

Sorry, Luceti.]

I need paint, wallpaper, and glue. Lots of all of it. Where can I find it?

Also. Regarding the hideously plain excuses for furniture in this flat-- There are obviously no cabs here, so I'm going to assume there are no trucks. How am I supposed to realistically re-furnish a flat? Surely in a place where wings are mysteriously attached to people, there is something better than just carting furniture almost a kilometre.

On a final note: If a human skull shows up in the item shop, it is mine. Return it to me at Community House 2, Room 21.

(Two edits:
A. the Imperial measurement is gone. Bad Lynn. No miles. Kilometres!
B. I spaced about the "only a mile wide" thing and was looking at the scale to try and figure it out. That's fixed in the entry too, now. Sorry about that.)

Oh! Are you a painter?

[Guess who else totally painted her walls upon arrival.]

I can manage well enough to paint a wall. [Or ten.

Anything to get rid of the white.]

That's wonderful! The rooms here definitely aren't colorful enough--what are you going to paint on yours?

Wallpaper is probably going up in the main room. Something plain but not white in my bedroom, at least.

Why don't you just paint a picture of whatever you want?

I don't paint.

[And now the confusion.] But...you just said...

I can use a roller to apply coats of paint to a wall. I don't paint.

Well, why not? Maybe you should try!

No interest in "creative" work.

Then...what do you do? Aren't you bored?

[Creativity is everything! Well, creativity and friendship. The latter is a new one for her.]

Consulting detective.

[Oh!

...Yeah she has no idea what that is.] Which is...what, exactly?

I solve crimes the police can't.

Police...oh--like the palace guard! Are there many crimes to solve here?

[Palace guard. Interesting...]

I've only just arrived. Where I'm from, there are.

Oh, I'm new, too! But everyone I've met here so far has been very nice. You miiiight need a new hobby.

It's not a hobby.

Then what are your hobbies? Everyone has them.

I work.

All the time?

When I can be.

And are you...happy?

[That takes awhile to answer. There are a lot of layers to that question, and everything needs to be taken into consideration. Everything that's happened...

Where he is. What's happening now.]

Sometimes.

Well...maybe you'd be happy more often if you did something besides work!
