[it sounds like an odd thing to hear, but v doesn't seem all too frazzled by it other than having to clarify. figures maybe there is a lot more weirder stuff taking place in different universes than he gives it credit for.]
[anyway, too bad his own coffee will grow cold. cloud knows better for next time.]
Anyway, it's not like we're opening a business. Just gotta get our names out there. Wouldn't want to steal jobs from you or anything, though.
[ He still doesn't fully understand how it's possible, and while he seems chill about it on the exterior, internally he's still trying to find a foothold that feels stable enough to rest on. Not that he's floating in all this weird alone. Either way he doesn't expand on it, just turns to lean against the counter with wet hands and shrugs. ]
Never know; might end up workin' together one day.
[ V knows all about solos, about the people who prefer working alone. He's done it himself, but his preference is working with a partner. Jackie fits the bill for that but he's never one to close off options, ideas or opportunities for no reason. ]
[cloud doesn't think he would like that. the time difference shenanigans between himself and his friends (and not-friends) is already difficult enough to wade through at times.]
—yeah, somethin' like that. It's a big enough city anyway.
[he frowns and lingers on a thought for a moment, but then shakes his head, as if backing away from it altogether.]
You three know each other. [—v, kerry, johnny—] If you're sharing stuff here, like food and the like... [erm] I've never done this before [being a roommate] but I don't want to freeload.
[ He's accused of being soft way too much for it not to be true, and maybe it'd bother somebody else. But V's not the kind of man who gives a fuck about being macho. Maybe it's just how Cloud's trying to explain he's new to this whole housemate thing, but V's expression softens and his lips quirk into a smile. ]
'course. This ain't my usual style of livin' either but... we'll make it work.
[ He pauses briefly, tries to figure out for a moment whether he should give the other man some kind of warning, but he doesn't want to fuck up whatever dynamic their little household will foster. ]
Johnny 'n Ker... don't get along always. Actually, way they are with each other now's prob'ly the best they've gotten along for a while. [ Give or take 50 years. ] Both of 'em got big personalities. But both of 'em are... they got heart. Couple'a old passionate rockerboys.
Guess what I'm sayin' is don't pay 'em any mind if they got beef with each other. And if you ever wanna go get a drink to get outta here... take me the fuck with ya.
[not having interacted with kerry, cloud can only figure what v says about johnny is true. and if they both are the way they are... then, it only makes sense that things would get loud and stupid at some point.]
I'm used to stuff like that. Guys in the barracks have all sorts of personalities.
[and they all just had to put up with whatever came up. but this isn't the military, and cloud doesn't have to put up with it. walking away is a possibility, and it's good to know that he can abscond were he to need it—and he wouldn't be alone.]
I'll take you up on that.
[he stands from the stool, a light tap on the counter with the flat of his hand.]
We don't have to put up with them if we don't wanna. [it's not said harshly, as it is definitely cloud feeling more comfortable—more at ease—around his housemate.] I'm sure we'll figure it out.
[ Grinning at the agreement, V nods and watches as Cloud rises from the stool. Giving the man fair warning about the half of Samurai that's here having historic issues only feels right. He loves both Kerry and Johnny more than he could ever put into words, but sometimes they need space to hash out their own shit. ]
Hold ya to that.
[ Grateful that he got the chance to meet Cloud properly and talk to him, V's smile doesn't fade as he dumps the coffee dregs down the drain and cleans up after himself. Assuming the other man's got other things to be doing, he nods again, but this time in farewell. ]
