Sebastian had clearly caught Lux by surprise if her facial expression was anything to go by. he found it a little amusing that she seemed to be quietly repeating something. His lip reading skills had gone rusty, but they were starting to come back again running the bar. But with different accents came different mouth shapes, and there was enough differences all up to make it not feasible to wholly rely upon that skill.<br/><br/>Lux stood straighter, opening the door and making some space to allow him to pass. He was acutely aware of the closeness of his part time bartender as he stepped past her, catching himself in time from looking down her tank top as he went passed. He quickly shifted his focus onto the section of the house he was standing in while Lux dealt with the door.<br/><br/><em>"Seeing as how my father banned me from setting foot in the gym for a few days, sure! I've got nothing but time. Might as well make the most of your trip right?"</em><br/><br/>"Yes, that would be an excellent idea. I hope the banning from work was for good reasons rather than bad."<br/><br/>He followed Lux further into the house, immediately noting the very empty space, and the definite priorities in Lux's purchases for her home. She was one more focused on her need to relax her mind more than her body. The entertainment system was quite impressive to his eyes, not that he had much experience with such electronics. But the remainder of the furnishings spoke of barest practicalities in their placement and functionality.<br/><br/><em>"Please excuse my barren household, as you can see my need for a housemate is a very real thing."</em><br/><br/>Sebastian caught himself just before speaking the first thing on his mind -<em>"Are you sure you need a housemate, or someone to supply you with furnishings you need?"</em>. He realized that would not get him off to the best of starts, and he didn't want to sabotage his own efforts so blatantly.<br/><br/>"Well, personally, I wouldn't have used that feature as a selling point for a need for a house mate. It could be misconstrued as saying that you're looking for someone to move in so you can furnish the house better. I assume what you were trying to say is that the house feels rather empty by just yourself, and having the housemate will remove that feeling for you. Would that be closer to the truth?"<br/><br/>He walked the room, picturing several pieces of his own furniture that could be used in the room. The sofa would be an improvement on her futon, as well as the coffee table and the entertainment unit he had purchased as well. He thought of a few other things, but held off until he had a better look at the rest of the house.<br/><br/>"There is one little question I would like to ask early, if I may. I was wondering if, apart from the bedroom I would be taking, is there a spare room that I could also take as part of the agreement? I have a personal library that I would like to set up, rather than keeping the various books in boxes. I do enjoy reading, and constantly shuffling books from the storage boxes is quite the nuisance."<br/><br/>He paused for a moment, giving the room a final visual once over. "Could we continue with the tour? If the state of the house itself is the same as this room, then I have little fears regarding my desire to stay here. Assuming, of course, you find me a worth while tenant."
