[ It seems he said the MAGIC WORDS because "lahabrea has been writing over my notes" is all he needs to hear before he's hopping down the bed again and just going to look around Emet's room for them, 100% acting as if this is his room now. Once he found them, he'll come back on the bed and sit down again, appreciating that he's being given room to stay comfortable ]

I suppose I could invest in a bigger room as well, for the rare times I invite you over instead.

[Why can't they all do what they enjoy? Lahabrea and Five reading/studying. Emet napping. Seems like a win-win for everyone.]

If you are going to upgrade your room, get those fancy devices that allow you to change the light setting with your voice.

[That might only be a FiN thing, but one can dream. Speaking of he turns off any overhead lights and turns on a few lamps. He probably didn't have those until Lahabrea showed up. And of course he wired his room to be able to do this without getting up.]

What would you upgrade your room to be anyway?

[He's been in Taisho rooms, they're nice enough.]

The exact same, but with a larger bed? And I guess fancy lights. I'm open to suggestions.

Bookshelves. A table. A small refrigerator so you can store food. A view. A portrait of your family. Truly the possibilities are endless.

Just don't go as gaudy as your house.

[Go as gaudy as the Hargreeve mansion.]

[Look he was going to recommend bookshelves too so he's out of ideas.]

A comfortable study? Personally I'm planning on a laboratory.

I'm not putting a family portrait in my room. Or a refrigerator. Bookshelves are a possibility. Maybe not a laboratory, but certainly a blackboard.

I'll think of something - the idea was just to have a larger space, not to make it a better place to live in.

And why not a better place to live in? 'Tis no extra cost to make it so.

It's fine if you don't wish to feel "at home" but there's nothing wrong with being comfortable.

[ wow now he's the one being double teamed this was not expected. and since lahabrea is already pretty much calling out why he just has no argument to make, unfair ]

The room is functional as it is, and making it larger would make it perfectly comfortable. But fine, I get it. I'll at least try to make some improvements.

That's better.

[Sitting up from Lahabrea a moment to lean over and kiss Five's forehead, 100% trying to annoy him. He's being an ass so much that he laughs.]

Is there where you threaten where you've brought a knife to bed?

[No comment just enjoying watching.]

[ congratulations Emet he manages to embarrass and annoy him at the same time ]

I did bring a knife to bed, so I wouldn't push my limits if I were you.

Give it here.

Is there anywhere you do not bring a knife?

No, that would defeat the purpose. I did get it for self defense.

[ he's strongly considering whether he wants to give it or not, but in the end, there's not much of a point in having it on his person when he's with people he trusts. So eventually he's going to hand the knife to Emet.

And then he's going to give him the gun too ]

Fine.

[He was not expecting the gun. Foolish of him, really.]

Well, you certainly don't need them here. You have your abilities if nothing else.

[He puts them on the bedside table because 1) he has long enough arms to do it without moving, and 2) they are still within Five's reach because obviously they are some type of security blanket.]

... Honestly is anyone you like normal about their sleeping habits, Emet-Selch?

[ he definitely appreciates them being within reach, because yes, while he doesn't need them what if he does suddenly ]

We could be called to a game at any point, keeping them on your person is just sensible.

But I suppose I can at least put them aside for now.

[Elbowing Lahabrea.]

Do not attempt to pin this on me.

[He gives Five a look. Sorry, buddy.]

Yes, it could happen, rare as it might be. But you need to actually relax at some point. In a game they would probably be useless and should you reach an untimely demise, well, I will bring you coffee and flowers upon your revival and lament how you were sorely missed.

[He'll pin it on you if he likes.]

Regardless, if they give you comfort they're in range, but having them on you seems rather difficult to get comfortably with. And you'll just make fret insufferably so it's good you conceded.

I've managed so far, it's not that uncomfortable. Do we really have to talk about my sleeping habits?

I thought it was topics of my choosing.

[He's being cheeky and relents though resting against Lahabrea again.]

That besides, if I can get this old man to finally relax, getting the lot of you to do the same should be easy.

I am only taking a break because there's not much else to do.

[Just so we're clear!! He does pet Emet's hair.]

I'll relax just fine as soon as you let me off the hook.

[ and he's going to make a dramatic show of opening his notes so he can start reading what Lahabrea wrote on them ]
