"Hey, Daphne? We're getting our own place but until then I'm not dropping out so we can use the dorm room, you know all those times I slept over at Gloria and Klaudia's place? Calling it in."

"Ha. Fair enough."

He hugs his wife.

"You're more adorable than I was expecting," she tells him.

"Thank you. I have my wife back. It's a significant improvement."

"On both ends! She cried over you kind of a lot."

He kisses the top of her head. "I'm touched."

She sighs a little and snuggles back into him.

"You two should enter some kind of cuteness contest or something you'll blow all the judges out of the water."

"I thought about doing the Olympics! But it'd be a little unfair of me."

"Psh, no kidding."

"So entering cuteness contests would be an outrageous injustice."

"Aww. The world is deprived."

"Sorry for kicking you out. I wanted to buy an ugly place while we wait for Moryo to get us a pretty place, but Idaia thought that was overkill."

"Well, to be fair, I deserve it."

"...okay?"

"Turnabout's fair play? She's had to borrow Gloria and Klaudia's spare bed because I was having sex with someone in here."

"I've had more than enough time to learn how Men work but I think I still haven't quite got it. Okay."

"What, the non-hypermonogamy thing?"

"Not all Elves do the hypermonogamy thing! Some Elves even have casual sex! They were just exceedingly discreet about it and running the risk of accidentally getting married."

"I mean, I figured, I did hear the story about the dude who stopped you in the street and Idaia had to threaten to flash. To be fair, lots of places would look down on my behavior, but we're in a college in California so I'm fine."

"Okay. I'd offer to punch people for you but that'd be deadlier than actually justified."

"I appreciate it nonetheless!"

And he rearranges the room to be less intolerably unpretty.

Daphne is not okay with him rearranging her stuff but she has a reasonably attractive blanket she can hang up as a curtain in front of her side of the room so he doesn't have to look at it. Idaia's stuff is arranged to be minimally unpretty already, largely because of coping mechanisms.
