Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

A few moments later, she received a reply.

I can be there in about 10 minutes. Leo sent.

That good for you? he then sent further.

I'm dying to see the place you've claimed as your own. the third one said, and she knew that was meant to be a little joke.

She could picture him chuckling at that one.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Desiree just smiled as she made her way to the couch that Dean had helped her get. It was far from new, but it was comfortable and in good shape. That was all she was worried about.

Yeah, of course. She sent.

I'm not sure about mana trasnport in though, I admit. However, I was told that the building owner is a mage, and has it that every mana arrival is redirected to a specific room for it.

There was a pause on the other side for a moment, before she received a response.

Duly noted. the response said.

I'll let you know when I transport there what happened. he told her.

'Or, well, have Nakia do it. Whatever, you know what I mean. he then sent, before there was another pause.

You have an internet connection there? Or a computer or laptop, even? he asked her in another text.

I know what you mean, don't worry. Desiree responded with before pausing.

And... I ... She started, thinking about what it was that she was to say. She knew what the answer was, but she didn't know if she wanted to tell him the truth. Granted, she knew that he'd realise the truth once he arrived, anyway...

I don't. She answered after a moment.

No net, no cable, nothing to connect to the internet aside from my phone.

That sucks. she received in response.

Anyway, I need to get ready. I'll call if there's any issues. he then sent.

Once she'd responded, her phone went silent, and remained silent for the next 12 minutes or so, before she got another message.

Seems I did get sent to that one room. Leo told her.

And there's a guy here saying he needs proof that I'm here for the reason I am... which is, to see you. he then added.

I'll make my way down. Desiree sent.

Give me a minute. With that, she got to her feet, shoved her phone into her pocket, and headed out - making sure to lock the door on the way, of course.

She made her way down to the arrival area and stepped inside before making her way to Leo and just giving him a hug b efore stepping back.

Good to see you again. She signed before looking ot the other one there. She was about to sign, realised he likely didn't know ASL before sighing and mimed writing something with a quizzical expression on her face, to ask if she needed to sign anything for Leo's arrival.

The one there raised an eyebrow, before seeming to get it, and shaking his head.

"Naw." he replied.

"He's here to see you, and that's cool?" he asked.

Desiree nodded in response.

"Have a nice day, then. he then said, as Desiree and Leo left the room.

"Good to see there's some security here." Leo said to her.

"Some degree of safety is ALWAYS good."

Desiree nodded.

It's part of why Dean and I chose this place. She told him honestly.

It's cheap, has some degree of safety, and... sure, my apartment is really small, but it's at least seeming to be well built. Sadly, the neighbourhood is where the cheap price comes from, I think. She added with a heavy sigh.

It seems pretty seedy, fi I'm being honest.

Leo just sighed.

"That sucks." he said.

"No other real way to put it." he muttered.

"But at least you have your own place." he went on.

"And Dean has been super awesome to you." he said further.

"Seriously, he seems like an amazing fellow."

Desiree nodded.

"He is." She agreed.

He saved my life. As I told you, I found the church by literally stumbling upon it while running from Deryck.

"I remember." Leo replied, as they stepped into her new apartment.

He looked around as she shut the door behind them, and nodded.

"Nice enough place." he commented. "Bit small, but nothing wrong with that." he reasoned.

"Now for a surprise that probably isn't a surprise." he then said.

With that, he took off the backpack he'd been wearing, pulled out a black and silver laptop computer, and handed it to her.

"Cords and accessories are in another pouch of the pack." he chuckled.

Desiree just rolled her eye swith a light chuckle.

"Yeah... no ss-s-s-s-surprise." She agreed as she accepted it.

I'll get it set up for you. She added before getting the cords and everything else for it before heading off to the coffee table. She set the laptop up before heading off to grab a drink, a bottle of half frozen water for both of them, and headed back.

As she headed back, she saw Leo waiting for her, smiling.

"It's nothing special." he said. "One of my older laptops." he admitted.

However, a recently unused laptop from Leo was STILL a decent laptop. Pretty top of the line, as he was a tech nerd.

"But you should be able to make use of it." he reasoned.

"Gave you a mouse and a few other things with it." he shrugging and accepting his drink.

Desiree paused before handing the water bottle to him.

"Wait... wh... what?" She asked, obviously surprised.

"I.... wh... why?" Followed as she took a seat in one of the chairs.

Don't you want to tinker with it, or something? She asked, switching to sign, where she was much more fluent.

Leo shrugged, and thought about it.

"Actually..." he muttered.

"I suppose I COULD soup it up a little to get it better than it is." he commented.

"And yes, it's for YOU, Desiree." he clarified.

"In these days, it's practically a necessity to have a personal computer." he reasoned. "And I DON'T mean your phone, even though it can technically be seen as one!" he quickly clarified.

"And if it stays with me, it'll probably end up neglected until it's used for spare parts." he chuckled. "Better it see ACTUAL use here."

Desiree was silent for a moment before chuckling.

If you're sure, I certainly won't reject it. She sighed.

Thank you, Leo.

Leo nodded in response.

"You're very welcome." he said.

He then sat down by the laptop and started to tinker with it, to try and improve it.

"By the way, does this place have internet?" he asked.

"I noticed the place is kinda small, only about 5 units, is there a central net connection?" he clarified.

"Or are you responsible for your own?"

Desiree just shrugged.

Dunno. She signed

It wasn't mentioned with the lease, so I assume I gotta get my own eventually.

"Well, if you need help with any of that, lemme know." Leo said.

"For now, this laptop will do, so that you'll have a reason to get the internet, and perhaps have something to do while you're home." he reasoned.

"Or whatever." he added.

"Anyway, shouldn't be too much to do to this." he continued.

"Want to go out to eat, or order in? To celebrate your new place?" he asked.

Desiree just chuckled lightly. It was very much not unlike Leo to offer food in one way or another.

You know I would love either She signed.

However, I'm also just that little bit paranoid about my family finding me. So let's order in.
