As Sebastian stepped by her, Lux couldn't help but get a whiff of her boss' scent. It was fresh and clean and probably more intriguing than it should have been given the circumstances but there it was. Had she ever been this close to him before? Likely she had since moving around behind the bar at work often involved slipping past others, however, pub scents easily overpowered things. Not to mention she was usually more focused on her customers rather than anything else since she tried her best not to make a mess where she worked. It was the same reason the more serious fighters her father trained were off limits to her.<br/><br/>Pushing the door closed behind them, Lux didn't bother to lock it before moving on. Stopping in the living room she turned her attention to her prospective roommate as he took stock of the mostly open space.<br/><br/><em>"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?"</em><br/><br/>Lux simply blinked at Sebastian when he felt the need to criticize her choice of words. It was never more real than in that moment just how little they knew of each other, otherwise he'd have never taken her seriously. She was not one to put much stock in the permanency of things--or people for that matter--so the fact that the house held little more than what she deemed necessary to her comfort wasn't an issue for her. Her needs were honestly very basic and easily met and as she didn't spend much time at home to begin with furnishings were truly the last thing on her mind. Of course she was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and not take his words as any sort of intended scolding... this time.<br/><br/>Biting back the smart ass quip that threatened, she simply shrugged, keeping her demeanor as relaxed as she could. "My desire for a roommate has nothing to do with furniture, I can promise you that." A glimpse into her bedroom would reveal that much. In comparison to the rest of the house it was like a private resort of relaxation and held much more of her personality than any other room in the house. She spent the majority of her time at the gym or on the go anyhow since too much sitting around seemed to only invite trouble to her doorstep, but again, how could he possibly know that? She wasn't exactly chatty Cathy with him at work. "But yes, you'd be correct. This used to be my grandfather's house and after he died he left it to me. It took me a few years to even move in here and it's far too big for just lil' ole me all by my lonesome so I'm in the market for a roommate or two."<br/><br/>She let it be at that and simply stood there quietly while he got a feel for the place or whatever he was doing. It was hard not to simply take the opportunity to study him a bit more but she thankfully had enough self control not to stare at the man while he looked about, though she did wonder how they would get on as roommates. Honestly, for her a roommate only needed to understand a few basic things to cohabitate with her successfully: 1. Don't be a psycho--and that referred to both the axe murderer variety as well as your more run of the mill psychos--2. don't go into her room, 3. don't be gross, and 4. which was possibly the most important, don't eat her chocolate! It really was that simple with her. Everything else was negotiable.<br/><br/><em>"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."</em><br/><br/>Somehow the notion that he liked to read just didn't surprise Lux. Most people wouldn't peg her for it but she was an avid reader herself, often finding time to squeeze in time after work or in between sessions at the gym. It was something her parents had got her into as a kid and it just stuck. It helped to balance her active lifestyle and keep her from feeling like another dumb jock.<br/><br/>"The house has 4 bedrooms. I've got the master bedroom but there's another fairly large room with it's own bath and then two smaller rooms that share a bathroom. Depending on what kind of space you're looking for, you could take the two smaller rooms and that way you'd still have privacy." She shrugged, "But I'll let you judge for yourself once we get up there. While we're being up front and all, I probably should mention that I'll likely be looking for one other roommate as well so I dunno if that will affect your decision or not. Its something to bear in mind though."<br/><br/>At his urging to continue on, she turned and gestured for him to follow.<br/><br/>"I'll show you the rest of the downstairs first. It's all pretty empty though in good shape. My grandfather was into home repair and wasn't one for cutting corners on anything." She said before taking him through to the dining room, kitchen, laundry room, and then finally opening the sliding glass door to show him the back yard. During the walk through she would of course answer any questions he had and give ample time for him to look about, choosing to use the time to get a better feel for him as a person rather than just her boss.
