Of course you do. A man like you, and I’d be surprised if you didn’t.

These connections of yours, though. They won’t ask too many questions about me?

[Then again, Alec did say he’d be far from the weirdest thing there.]

[striketwice]

Nah. I mean, maybe. But they'll ask you to your face, so you can choose to answer or not.

[ A beat, as he realizes he might have gotten a bit ahead of himself here. ]

I should mention, my contacts are magical. My landlord is not.

[vecna]

[A noise of amusement.]

I figured as much when you said the inter-dimensional kidnapping excuse wouldn’t work.

[striketwice]

Just making sure we're on the same page.

[vecna]

Don't worry, Alec. I know how to keep a secret.

[He's not going to go blabbing about magic to his landlord.]

[striketwice]

I'm not saying you don't. I'd just rather you know where the lines are beforehand.

[vecna]

Of course. So act "normal" around the landlord.

[If Henry can manage "normal", at least.]

[striketwice]

For a given definition of "normal", anyway.

[ Alec's confident that Henry can fake it!! ]

After all the paperwork stuff is out of the way, then... I guess you just get to do whatever you want.

[vecna]

[The telling pause of a man who’s never had that option given to him. The sense that it's something he's always wanted, but idea itself is so strangely unwieldy, all the same.]

Just like that? You’d let me do whatever I felt like?

[striketwice]

Yeah? Why wouldn't I?

[ He figures that Henry won't have a reason to go around terrorizing teenagers or wantonly murdering in his world. So like. Go wild. ]

[vecna]

[Stop saying things like that, Alec. It shifts the foundations inside of him without the other realizing it.]

Because no one’s ever let me do that before. You forget that I’ve spent all my life feeling imprisoned.

[To finally be free — no, his priorities would not be terrorizing teens, anymore. Imagine that.]

I don’t know what I would do.

[striketwice]

I didn't forget. That's exactly why I'm not about to put you on any kind of leash. You deserve to have a life.

[ He shrugs a little, turning his attention back to his half-eaten lunch for another bite or two. ]

Well, that's not something you need to figure out right this second anyway. Maybe something will come to you when we actually get there.

[vecna]

[How funny. Alec will not put him on a leash, but he cannot imagine ever wandering off too far from him.]

You’re right. There’s time.

[Maybe he’ll be struck by inspiration, living in a new world. He wonders.]

I suppose we need to find a way out of here first, anyway.

[striketwice]

I guess we are getting ahead of ourselves, huh? Still, it's kinda nice to think about.

[vecna]

It is.

[Nice, he means.]

It's something to look forward to.

[striketwice]

Take what you can get, I say. Especially here.

[ He motions to Henry's plate. ]

You gonna finish that?

[vecna]

What are you, my mother?

[Gentle jibing.]

Yes, I'm going to finish the sandwich you didn't actually make. Don't worry.

[GOSH. He'll work on it now.]

[striketwice]

Sure, I didn't make it, but I made it better.

[vecna]

You heated it up.

[striketwice]

Yeah, and that made it better.

[vecna]

[oh my god. this man.]

I could have done that.
