Monday Night at 43 Unicorn

[mylandmyrules]

Nell had decided recently that living on Unicorn Street must have been a sign because the odds of her having such amazing things in her life had been as unlikely as finding a unicorn outside of Fandom.

She had decided to make a large batch of spgahetti for the gathering, one pot of sauce with meat and the other vegan. Surprisingly enough the pasta itself - most of them anyway - were actually vegan.

In any case, the rich smells of the sauce filled the house, welcoming whoever made it over tonight.

"I mean, we could always get a hotel room on days when they're truly insupportable, though I should think the lack of a kitchen of your own would be almost as deep a frustration as the cost," Liliana continued on, blithely unaware of Ignis' own consternation. "We can talk to the contractor, see how long he thinks the renovations will last, and then just fold the cost of the rent into what I've budgeted for that project as well."

Okay, she hadn't really done anything that really counted as 'making a budget,' but that just meant that the budget was 'however much it cost', right? And that could easily absorb a few months' worth of rent.

"Once they start renovating the upper floors for the guest suites, we won't even be able to retreat to the bedroom properly," Liliana continued, lacing their fingers together and resting her head on Ignis' shoulder. "I thought about simply decamping to Innistrad or Ravnica while that was happening, but that would require Planeswalking several times a day and I have no idea what that quantity of portals would cost for you. Keeping the apartment until, say, summer seemed like a much more efficient solution than anything else." She pulled away to look up at him. "Though if you have alternative solutions, I'm happy to discuss those, too."

Liliana was an accomplished liar and sometimes getting a read off of her was tricky, but she did collect properties on whatever planes she alighted on the way other women collected charms for bracelets, so it was entirely possible she just saw nothing odd in the idea of keeping multiple residences for the convenience of it.

And, whispered a voice, that he was not proud of, in his mind, if something were to happen between now and then...

"No," Ignis said, shaking his head lightly. "That is an excellent idea, and a clever use of resources. And with Gladio moved out, the steward can have bedroom."

Yes, yes, he was an undead servant without much need for personal space, let alone a bedroom, but...anyway....

Don't be ridiculous, darling. You're not getting to the war by summer.

She blinked a bit at the idea of her steward having his own room - she hadn't been thinking of him at all, really - but shrugged. If it made Ignis happy, why not?

"We can figure out a proper schedule at some point, since I won't want to give up the mansion completely." Her free hand twined with his. "We should figure out the order we want the crew to handle the rooms as well."
