"Yeah, that's fair."

And they can plan a house!

House! "You sure you're okay to live with my brother? I can't leave him. Maybe being out here'll be good for him though, he's not getting any better in our craphole."

"Yeah, if he's scaring me I can just leave."

"Fair enough. He's never hurt a person, anyway." So there are rooms for three purples and one human.

"And some guest rooms for buddies who want to come skiing, that's the best thing about having a house at a place for skiing."

"Good plan."

"And maybe one for the lesbian and her girlfriend."

"If I find a lesbian, yeah - then we'd need more rooms for kids - this is gonna be a mansion, damn -"

"Owning a mansion you didn't build makes you a twit but owning a mansion you built with your own hands doesn't. It's like being rich off investments compared to being rich off building a business."

"...I never particularly thought of there being a difference."

"They're different. No shame in being rich because you made the world richer. If you're rich because your daddy was, or because you shuffled money around and got lucky, well, you're not any better than anyone else and you shouldn't start thinking so."

"There's not a house here," nods Cahmro, "and we're gonna put one in, and it can be big."

"You got it."

This will cost money.

Dave can pick up some extra hours. "You could come along sometimes and hang out, make the back-and-forth less tedious."

"Sure, when my brother's doing all right and Adro's in school."

Dave shuttles people from Calado-colony to Calado-proper to Elendil to Revelation to Limbo to Ambaróna to Vanda Nossëo to Avast to Vanda Nossëo colony Esheme and then he goes back again. 

Cahmro sits near the driver's seat and chats and people-watches. Occasionally Adro comes.

The shuttle has a steering wheel and horn in honor of Dave's old bus. They don't do anything, of course - the whole thing is powered by Dave's teleport - but Adro can spin them and honk if he wants.

Spin! Honk!

Elendil! Revelation! Vanda Nossëo!

The Elf who adopted some Yvaltan oranges stops by their home to check on them.

Vae isn't showing yet but they look infinitely happier. They're cuddled up on the couch; she's embroidering and he's on his everything.

"Hey! How are you guys doing?"

"It's so nice here," Lynt smiles.
