""Huh? But you were saying something before about helping around at home and stuff, I had assumed you meant your parents. And you can sit on my bed, I promise not to jump you again as long as you don't pout." He watches Vincent, curious about what happened for him to say he didn't have any fmaily. It's not something that happens often, but probably happens more often than it should anyways.

"So if you have no family, where are you staying? Do you have your own place and do you have a job?" Don decides that when he take sVincent back home he's like to see his place. If he didn't like it or didn't think Vincent should be living there he would make Vincent move in with him, its not like they didn't have the room and his parents would probably be estatic about having someone for him to be around besides being by himself all the time.

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent shakes his head a bit. "Foster homes." He says simply. "Not sure if my real parents died....or maybe they just didn't want me....either way, foster homes. Usually with quite a few others, so someone had to try and help at least." He shrugs again. "Don't want the guardians breaking under the pressure or anything."

"A small apartment. I like it at least." He knows where everything is and he feels like he belongs there. "Yeah, it's good enough to pay for the place, especially since they go by income there." He smiles a bit. It isn't perfect, but it isn't horrible either.

[ml1201]

"Ah, so that's how it is for you. Not many places rent out apartments and such based on a person's income, you were really lucky to find that place. And if you don't feel comfortable sitting on the bed with me you can sit in the chair at my desk, it should be comfortable enough for talking anyways." Vincent not sitting down on the bed with him did make him sad, but he didn't want Vincent to see that so he just kept a neutral look on his face. He got the feeling that Vincent might get upset if he got upset, what with the question he asked earlier about not wanting him there.

[Yokuutsu]

"Yeah, I know I'm lucky on that front. I need a place like that....or I don't know where I'd be able to stay at this point." Vincent says simply. He ends up sitting down, but he decides to sit on the edge of the bed, kind of perched there as he looks around, curious about the room a bit. "Nice room." He says softly.

[ml1201]

"Thanks, I've been thinking of painting the walls, they've been white for as long as I can remember. I used to have music notes painted on them, but after I was banned from competitions I wanted them painted over. There's a lot of room that's not being used here, so I can easily add in that other bookcase I mentioned before. Do you want to go with me later on and help pick out some wood? I can show you how to make one if you'd like." Leaning back he stretches out on the bed behind Vincent, his feet at the head of the bed as he tilts his head off the edge of the foot of the bed.

[Yokuutsu]

""I like the idea of music notes on the walls." Vincent says, smiling a bit at the thought. He wouldn't think it childish or anything of the like. He nods a bit. "I can go with you....and that'd be nice." He says smiling. "Would you help me make it...if I needed help at least?" He asks.

[ml1201]

Chuckling Don smiles at him, "If I'm showing you how to make one then of course I can help you make one as well. But that will have to wait for a day when we both have time, and I don't know what your work schedule is, so I'll have to wait until after that. I'll give you my number so that you can call me and let me know, alright?" Getting up he walks over to his desk, taking a sheet of paper from something meant to be a shopping list and writes down his information. Sitting back down on the bed he hands it to Vincent. "And if you ever need my help with something just give me a call, okay?"

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent smiles a bit. "Hey, some people take showing as just showing and being done." He says, shrugging a bit. "I'll check the schedule at work and let you know what times I have off." Sometimes he doesn't have an actual day off, not if school is included. He takes the paper, folding it up after looking at it and putting it in his pocket. He just nods. "Alright, I will." He won't. Don has helped enough already. He's not going to ask for more.

[ml1201]

"So, what do you want to do for the rest of the night? We can watch tv in the living room, we can play some more, I have some games on my computer you can try out or we can play with the dogs. I know Bobbie took a liking to you, and Wolfie will be fine as long as I'm playing with her until she gets used to you." When talking about the computer games he indicates the compact disc cases he has for the ones on his desk. There's one for a really old DOS game called 'Loom' in the stack.

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent tilts his head a bit as he thinks about what he'd like to do at the moment. He smiles a bit at the mention of the dogs. "Can we do that? Play with the dogs?" He does like animals, including big scary ones. "And then we can do whatever you want to do?" Assuming it's not too late by then at least.

[ml1201]

Smiling, Don gets up and stretches, "Playing with the dogs it is then!" He heads downstairs and opens up the back door for the patio, the dogs instantly running over to see who they are. Smelling that its Don before they get to him, they leap up at him so that they are on their hind legs to give him kisses. Seeing Vincent, Wolfie huffs at him while Bobbie wags her tail happily. Getting down from Don Bobbie trots over to Vincent and leaps up at him so she can lick his face.

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent just smiles at him before following after him. He does stand back a bit when the dogs run over. He'll let them notice Don first. He does smile, it's cute how they act around Don and everything. He just pet Bobbie, scratching her head a bit when she leaps up. "Glad you like me too." He likes any animal that doesn't try to eat him pretty much.

[ml1201]

Backing up and barking at Vincent, Bobbie jumps around then couches low trying to get him to chase her. Her tongue rolls out and her tail wags back and forth crazily.

"She want you to chase her or else throw something for her to chase. She's very good at fetch." While Don explains Wolfie picks up a nearby stick, holding it out for Don to grab. Taking hold of it she begins to try tugging it free from his grip, a bit of a playful growl can be heard from her.

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent laughs a bit, seeing how excited the puppy is to play and everything. "I can definitely do that." He says, smiling. For now, he'll chase until he gets tired. And so, he kind of tries to pounce on Bobbie. Why not? Long as they're having fun at least.

[ml1201]

Smiling with her tongue out, Bobbie easily doges Vincent, barking at him as if she's laughing before dashing off again. Don laughs as he watches the two's antics while Wolfie just continues to play tug with him. She lets out a huff when she sees Vincent's pounce fails, like she's laughing at how silly of a human he is. After a while, Bobbie suddenly turns around and pounces at Vincent, trying to pin him under her.

[Yokuutsu]

Vincent chuckles a bit, knowing he isn't actually going to catch Bobbie unless Bobbie wants to be caught. But he'll still play, chasing after her, trying to pounce as well. He kind of squawks as Bobbie pounces on him, trying to squirm out from underneath her.
