[60][voice/action for house 1]

...Well.

I must admit to my curiosity, I suppose. Did anyone else...find that they got something they wanted? Perhaps without even knowing you did, until then?

[Saphir, 80%]

Your exile from this house is entirely self-imposed.

[Around the house today Nephry is just doing some chores. Tidying up, so to speak. The journal is with her so she might hear any answers that come along while she works.]

[Oh, he sees that message, Nephry. Dist had left the house the very instant the event ended and he found himself (much to his horror) in bed with his so-called "wife". The initial exile from house one was mostly because of embarrassment, but as Dist say in the empty apartment room of one of the community buildings, he had time to really gather his thoughts and feelings. Very few of those feelings were pleasant.

He was made a fool of, as far as he was concerned. A real and pleasant life, with a loving family, was dangled in front of his nose and he was lead along as the Malnosso guffawed stupidly over it. ...Worthless swine! And on top of that, that false happiness, they dared to show him what he had become. What he really was.

You're not that man. You're this man.

Hah! How laughable. Dist grits his teeth, and shuts the journal angrily, only coming back to it some hours later, and bumps that filter to absolute perfection. He doesn't want anyone snooping.]

If you're asking me to return, Nephry, I'm afraid I'll have to politely decline your offer.

[Said with a definite bite. Dist is not a happy person right now, and no one is spared his wrath.]

[His tone stings, but she's heard worse.]

Then I will assume you are returning, until you find it within yourself to do so politely.

[She tries very hard not to take a biting tone with him in return. But there are definite undercurrents there to remind him that he may be talking to the only person left who is willing to accept the present Saphir despite his past.]

[Silence persists as Dist purses his lips and clenches his jaw tightly. Her jab definitely angers him, he's not in the mood for this, but...it's Nephry. And he's always had a soft-spot for her. Plus, with the events of the previous experiments, he can't bring himself to really snap at her like he does with others.

Doesn't mean he's not going to snap somewhat, however.]

If this is the treatment I'll receive upon returning, perhaps I won't [He pauses, then reassesses his words, sighing. Okay, once more.] ...Give me time, Nephry, it's all I ask for.

I can no more make your decisions for you now than I ever could.

[in other words, don't return if this is how you are going to act in this house. She expects better and he knows better.]

Neither am I demanding your immediate return. Take your time, if that is what you need. But don't do it thinking you are not welcome here.
