MCA: Apt shopping - Wednesday mid-morning
Fjord's phone had buzzed. After some fumbling, Fenris managed to get it to show him why. Then he frowned and with painful slowness, read the message.
"We have an appointment to look over apartments?" he asked the snake. Who, predictably, didn't answer. The appointment was for both of them. They'd both mentioned continued cohabitation but Fenris found himself oddly touched that he'd been included in actual plans.
Nothing for it but to go. He recognized the address - Peter had left his address at the store in case Fenris needed to contact him. The weather was nice but a little brisk, so he bundled up like it was the middle of winter. T-shirt, very baggy hoodie, winter jacket. Only then did he pick up Fjord and let him slither into the jacket, around his shoulders. On top of the snake, Fenris looped a scarf.
Look, he wasn't taking chances.
Then he walked rather quickly to the apartments with the swanky-sounding name. They were met by an overly cheerful apartment agent. "Hi," she chirped, "Are you Fjord??" Fenris shook his head, "Fenris. Fjord's roommate. He's been .. called away unexpectedly." "Ooo-oh," she said, smiling brightly, "So are we looking for two bedrooms or one?" "... Two," Fenris answered, "We'd definitely each like our own room." He considered a moment and asked, "What's the pet policy?" She rambled off something about it. Fjord chose that moment to stick his head out from under the scarf to peer about. "OhmygodyouhaveaSNAKE!" she squealed, leaning in closer, "It's so PRETTY!"
Fjord looked smug. "He," Fenris corrected, "Definitely a male. Be careful, he bites." Fjord turned to stare at him. Excuse you, he hadn't bitten anyone! Fenris booped him. Fjord hissed and reconsidered that whole biting thing for a moment before retreating back under the scarf in a sulk. Boops indeed.
The apartment agent lead off at a merry clip to show them the available apartments, prattling on about the amenities and using words like 'holosuite' and 'on-roof parking and garage'.
"Hear that, Fjord?" Fenris muttered sotto-voice to him, "You could put a ship on the roof. Why you'd do that, I've no idea, but you could, so that's a.. definitely a thing you could do." Fjord slithered out of the scarf long enough to turn the tables - and his snakey body - to boop Fenris on his nose. Ships don't go on roofs! The boop startled a small laugh from the elf.

[OOC: There's no info for how ic apartment stuffs are done in the business directory so I'm handwaving like whoa since they're not taking an apt today anyway. DP has been le emailed!]
