Thank you. [He practically preens at the compliment. He is very proud of his collection, but he's more pleased that Raha likes it.] I never really had a permanent place to stay, nor did I ever want one, but... I don't know. I felt like it was time, since I can't find the way home.
[Anyway, onto the fun part of the house. He returns Raha's bright grin.] Books certainly have their place, but I'm afraid in here they'd be more like furniture.
... Have you given any thought to moving in? I'm still practically a stranger, so I understand if you need more time to settle in. Or you can tell me not to bring it up again, and I won't.
[He is in so deep and no one has any idea. He hasn't even told Rhel because it just kind of popped out of his mouth... but having Raha close would make it much easier to keep an eye on him. Amal's never been very good at keeping his heart out of the mission, unfortunately.]
I... [His amber eyes shift to the side briefly.] I just don't want you to be struggling, being new here and all. Gods know I had to start from the ground up myself, and it wasn't always sunshine and daisies.
