"Holy shit this place is big" Siv beams at the appartment upgrade

Siv and her dad had a 'talk' and she seems in a better place. Piper can see Jonas has destressed a lot more as well

Piper is stretching to her hoof-tips, standing on a chair, to hold up a cali-themed art piece against the wall, trying to decide the best place to put it up.

"Do you have any bits and bobs from your room at the Lodge you want to bring over? Gotta make sure that it reflects the all of us, not just my aesthetic." A grin as she wobbles a bit, shifting the poster to the left and considering.

Jonas moves to Piper's side "Require assistance?"

"My entire life is a trust fall." She says with a grin over to Jonas. "In that I know you're always there to catch me." She turns and delights in giving him a quick kiss at nearly eye-level, for once.

Jonas mmphs "Well, don't endanger yourself just to get attention" but he blushes lightly "But yes, i shall be there"

Siv answers the question, "I'm not sure. If you asked a few days ago I would have brought a lot of stuff out. .. I'm tempted to bring in Mackerel, she gets irked at me for leaving her so often" Speaking of her cat "Would that be a bad idea? They have a pet policy here of one or two right?"

A soft laugh and she marks the wall where the poster will go... if she doesn't change her mind again. "How did letting your parents know you were moving in go over? I was worried they'd think that I was stealing you away like a spriggan in the night." A grin to show that she's joking... mostly.

"I believe JONAS spilled the beans on that" she arches a brow at their fellow

"It was the honorable thing to do, and in this I do not waver" Jonas says he follow's piper's direction and aids her

"The down side of course, is I could lose my room there entirely, and probably should" Siv admits "But it's nice having a place at the lodge all me own."

Then she adds 'No offense to you two, but you know what I mean I hope? When I have to stay there over night I'd rather it not be a bunk iin the corner of the main room"

"I hear ya. I still have a room back in Cali... that is, if Mama hasn't turned it into a recording space yet. Or a spare bedroom for parties." She frowns a little unsure how she feels about that, but shrugs.

Siv seems to get it, "I totally understand that. "

"About Mackerel? You take on the catbox, I think it's no problem. If the apartments allow 2 pets, that is... we already have Rikki." GRIN.

"mmmph, one of the two scratches and it's not the cat" Jonas observes

"I'll talk to her about that, if anyone is leaving scratches on your back, I think there's a line of priority."

"We can't tell her who her friends are, Jonas," Siv sighs "Catbox duties are mine then, as for Rikki, Piper, I hope you realize she and I are unliikely to be friends?" worried look "I mean, she's welcome, your friend your apartment and all that"

"I understand. And if she is a nuisance at all, just let me know. My friend, but our apartment, and you have a right to your space too. There's no reason why I can't hang out with her elsewhere as easily."

"...though I might have gotten her addicted to those breakfast wraps Jonas makes."

"Dammit, Jonas" Siv says , but with a chuckle in her throat

"I'm a monster, I learned some cullinary skills" A couugh "However , I seem to recall I am not the only one here who has learned somethings working in the kitchen?" Jonas raises a brow

Siv breaks first "You know, behind the Hearth is Sally Mae, then came Brogan, then Gerd and Dagmar ... I mostly get stuck with the mopping"

"You are a better cook than you give yourself credit for, " Jonas says, "And yourr food is fine."

Then he looks to Piper pondering

She sticks her tongue out at him. "I do the dishes! I can't set THAT on fire."

"I was just thinking I could teach you some" He offers

"We had her mothers 'cooking" Siv reminds "If they couldn't teach her.. no offense, Piper me love..."

"I might be a lost cause, and I've made my peace with that." A chuckle.

"Oh very well" Jonas relents, for now "But Siv makes dinner tonight"

"I'll pick up a book of cocktail recipes and work on those. I bet I can shake up something tasty to accompany any meal."

"Hey, nice.." Siv grins "Oh I need to raid the liquor cabinet at the lodge."

Then Siv looks at Jonas "Ohh I can't wait to tell Uncle Olgar you're sending me to the kitchen"

"Now Siv" He fusses

"Relax, it's a fair point"

"Maybe I can get a couple of those bakes that Kerri puts together for quick dinners - if it's only a question of time and temp, I probably can't mess that up..."

"Only one way to find out ,and the building's insured" Siv grins at her

A laugh!

"So, two rooms. Maybe the one that's a little bigger we can call the main bedroom, and the smaller one, put a bed and desk for some extra space if someone needs a little quiet time, or a guest, or if we come in late and don't want to wake up or interrupt?"

"Sounds great" Siv smiles "And with the Chofa being set up in here, we can puppy pile there too. " She looks about "I think Mackerel will like it here once she gets used to it"

"Want to get some of those kitty shelves that go up along the walls? They're pretty neat looking. And if you think she'll stay in, the balcony might be nice for some fresh air."

"Ooo not a bad idea" Siv nods "OK. That's one pet. I take it one is all we need as w'ere busy sorts?"

"Definitely. There's the lodge if we need more fuzzy animal time... or you can just pet me." A flick of her pert tail.

"Unless Jonas needs a goldfish?" A grin over at him.

"Pass" Jonas says succinctly

Siv reaches over to tickle said pert tail

Piper squeaks and grins. "Do you have a sports team you like, or a what sort of decor do you want to add, Jonas?"

Jonas blushes

Siv looks mortified "Jonas, I never asked if you had a favorite sports anything. I'm so sorry"

"I fancy myself a man of keen intellect an extravagant vocabulary" He reminds
