it's late at night, and while she figures they've got a lot of flatmates that are night owls, she's quite nonetheless as she heads down to the first floor and towards ren's room.
(The only mess that can be seen is a laundry bag and a few tools on his desk. Ren, in his sweatpants and t-shirt, pulls out a chair for her before he takes a seat by the bed, stretching his arms above his head.)
[she takes a seat, looking around his apartment. the layout is basically the same as hers, though she imagines there is some freedom in not having roommates.
her eyes meet his.]
Maybe.
Do you know how many people are in this place who aren't originally from Gloucester?
(Ren's avoiding getting attached to it, but that's inevitable. He will start decorating soon, and his room will most likely become a forest with all the flora that he intends to take care of.)
Here? I suppose it's most of us.
(He listens in, a lot, but so far he hasn't been able to create a profile of each and every person.)
[there are a few people who live in the flophouse who don't seem otherwise too out of place, unlike the majority of the people who walk these halls at any given hour. she is only bound to assume the same of those staying at the ADI's apartments.
she tilts her head.]
A friend?
[removing one foot from her slippers, she puts it up on the chair and hugs her arms around it.]
There are four from my world, but they're not ... exactly friends. [colleagues, in a distanced way] Everyone else is really kind, though. [she can't help but think of harry, bumbling his way about and having long conversations of everything and nothing with her, and smiles lightly.] Might be good to know who we all are.
(Rivals? Lovers? Enemies? ??? ? ? Who the fuck knows, not Ren. Either way, he's glad to listen to her talk. Imagining the world as another is always an interesting exercise of empathy, and should they try to explain their experiences, probably they'd both end up confused, but happy that the other has listened.
Ren, unfortunately, has made a promise to keep it shut.)
Do you know Loki?
(That's the only person he'd like to keep an eye on as of late.)
[immediately, all wanda can think of is: what did he do?
except—the loki she had met in the flophouse was, despite being very loki, a vastly different individual than the one she remembered seeing on the news, painted as a villain with no redeeming morals.]
He is from my world, but I'm not too familiar with him.
(Like the type to pull a knife at him for that sweet entity feeding. It's in his best interest to learn about the man, considering what he represents to him and to Akechi.)
[she can't help the light shake of her shoulders as she tries hard to not laugh at ren's assessment of the god. he is not the most popular of individuals where she's from, but he's been kind enough to her.
far from unsavory, at least.]
Not that I'm vouching for him, but he's not as terrible as I was told.

I guess we can head out if anything.
