Asking for Favours [Ricky]

The blue eyes rolled with a low scoff. Sure, the situation looked bad from Ricky's end. He was kicked out, didn't have any money, or very much with him to sleep outside of the city. But from Gale's perspective it was more like... he was kicked out and...he didn't have any money... or have very much to use to sleep outside the city. Oh alright, so it was bad. So what? You can't always have a friend bail you out in life. If you always got out easy, how would anyone grow? "Going through hardships is what helps people grow and learn. So even if I didn't have a place to stay, it wouldn't have been all bad." The man responded, putting his hands on his hips after running them through his curly hair.

Ricky dropped the topic and quickly suggested he get to unpacking. What was he, some sort of general now? The Zeltivan couldn't imagine being a worrier of any kind. Waveguard... Mmmm, that was a little different, but he couldn't imagine being one either. As Ricky noted, he wasn't the physical type. Now, if there was a job opening for an artistic guard for one reason or another, then he would consider it. Nonetheless, the thought was cut short and the fisherman held out his bag to him, which Gale took with an exaggerated swipe. "No, no, no, you have helped quite enough for one day." The blonde teased and gave the bag a once over. Flute, sketchbook, journal pages and letters, music book, eating knife, yep. It all seemed to be there.

A knock on the door had brought his attention back to the others in the room, which now was Telion and Ricky. Upon sight of the woman, the artist's mouth pressed into a flat line, almost as if he was holding his breath. It appeared that the incident back at the Grotto wasn't forgotten. What a disappointment. Gale was hoping to have a fresh start with their relationship, but since when did your plans ever go the way you want it to? Richard took the next step and started the introduction, adding a tidbit about the staying on the street thing. That only earned the murderer that awkward look that people get when they have no idea what you are talking about. Seriously, is there any other way to express that you think someone is crazy then to look at them as if they are stupid? It was completely degrading and highly disrespectful. At least in his eyes.

Gale's face contorted into a soft frown at the face, but it was quickly replaced by shock when her embrace finely took notice. Although he had magically turned into a wood plank, the Waveguard's little 'I told ya so' arose a silent mock of his words and a frown. The man wasn't exactly impressed by Telion's choice of words either. 'Good enough for me'? surely There could have been some other way to say that. Perhaps 'and good friend of Ricky is a good friend of mine', or ' Any friend of Ricky's is always welcome here'. But no. He was apparently 'good enough'. The artist knew that she more than likely didn't mean it personally, but perhaps it would do her some good if she took a tick or two to reword her sentences in her head before saying them.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Telion." The blonde stated, looking just as awkward as he had felt during the hug.

Ricky brought an arm out to wrap around Telion's waist as she returned to his side, with a moment to watch Gale came next as he prepared to get settled in his new temporary home for now. "Make your self at home Gale, you're more than welcome to stay as long as you need." Telion finally added with a big gentle smile, a lean into Ricky as she relaxed on him. The guard was next to speak of course, after the exchanged glances between his beloved and the artist.

"Aye, if ya need anythin' we're right next door mate. Don't hesitate t' knock when somethin' comes up." He wondered if he should've worded that more carefully, since there could be certain situations that develop when Gale might actually decide to knock. He and Telion would have to consider the chances and just go with the flow of things, as he always did when it came to handling everything else. "Someday soon we'll 'ave this whole buildin' t' ourselves, f'r now it's just these rooms though." He remembered the silent promise he made to himself, sure enough that he and Telion would own the rest of the complex in time. He realized that they were starting to gawk now, which tended to make things go awkward when such a thing occured. Convinced that they had done what they could he barely nudged for outside the door, Telion quick to receive his hidden message as she started to turn around with him for the two to walk out.

"We'll leave ya t' settle in then mate, rest easy as things'll look up f'r ya soon." He reassured Gale with a hearty grin before they left the room, to return to their own and discuss the changes that were sure to occur. Gale was left to settle in and find comfort in the bedroom he was given, and sure enough even in the awkwardness he felt in having a place to stay he found comfort quickly approached him shortly after.

Gale could only hope that 'as long as he needed' would on be a short amount of time. Because most disliked being a burden and he was no different. And he certainly hoped he wouldn't need to knock on their door for anything other than directions to the restroom. With a subtle sigh, he nodded," Thank you." He would have said more, but the shock of being carried all the way here was still settling in. Not like that was an excuse, however.

The two left him alone within his new room. Imperatively the widower took one item out of his bag at a time, placing them in their proper places until the time came in which Gale could finally afford his own place. Although the man was impelled to leave the couple's hope as expeditiously as possible, he knew perfectly well that it may not happen as soon as he hoped. After all, artists don't obtain as much as some other occupations may, and thus, earnings and savings shall be slow. Probably agonizingly slow in the Zeltivan's eyes.

Placing his clothes in the drawer and setting his flute on the desk, the inured man sat on the bed, grazing his hand over the covers in introspection. Besides being a nuisance to Ricky and his family, the man wasn't entirely sure why he made such an outburst. Perhaps it was the fact that getting assistance with housing from the man who didn't even have a home when they met was humiliating. Perchance it could have been that he was concerned over the fact that Ricky was a Wave Guard and Gale didn't fancy exposing his transgressions to his gossips.

But most probable was that the plebeian didn't wish to uncover the parts of him that perhaps the bear hadn't seen, including his atramentous actions and past. As capacious as Gale may seem, he acted very discordantly when at home than he did on the streets or at the Kelp Bar. When the man walked the streets, he mad his misanthropy clear. That he would prefer as little interaction as possible. But when at home, the yearning for his previous relations burn through his actions in a fairly noticeable manner. Of course, Gale trusted Ricky, he would trust the man with his life. But he wasn't sure if the Wavegaud would be too fond of this other side. He surely didn't want to disappoint him and his probity.

Gale wrapped up his thoughts was an accepting nod and fell back on the bed, starring at the ceiling. No matter how much Gale disapproved, he suppose he was here to stay until he could get back on his feet.
