Finally!

[lostforeigner]

After quite a bit of searching, Brother and I have finally found an apartment and will be moving in around the beginning of next month. Fräulein Clara, danke for putting up with us for as long as you have, your hospitality is unmatchable. I do not know if I can ever thank you enough.

Oh, Alfons, don't be ridiculous, "putting up" with you, really... it's been lovely having you and Edward here, and you've both been so helpful... oh, I do think I shall miss you! You'll have to come visit, all the time! Oh, and of course I'll come visit you, too! Really, though, it's wonderful that you two have gotten your own place now, I know things can be a bit chaotic here.... Whereabouts is the apartment?

((OH THANK GOD.))

[lostforeigner]

::smiles, shrugging:: I am glad, then, and I will miss you as well, but it is not as if we will not see much of each other any longer. Ah, the new place is on the southwest side of town... Farther from the park than I would have liked, but it will do fine.

[songless_psiren]

Oh, no, I know, of course I'll still see plenty of you, but still... it really has been nice having you around. *nods sympathetically, smiling* Well, farther from the park just means you have the opportunity for longer walks! ...Don't you let your brother drive you around places, just because he's got that taxi, you must remember to get fresh air. ...Do you need help moving in?

[lostforeigner]

I have enjoyed it as well, danke. ::chuckles:: Ja, a good point. And no, of course I will not let him. Ahm, as far as moving in goes, I think we have it covered. Brother and I do not have a lot of things, so it should not take long, but I appreciate the offer.

...Alfons is going away?

[lostforeigner]

Ja, I am sorry, Gluttony. But Brother and I had been intending on finding our own place from the start, our stay with Clara was always going to be temporary... You can still come and visit, of course, if you like. I am not going to be all that much farther away, really.

[can_i_eat_it]

*looks hopeful* Come and visit? Not far away? Where?

[lostforeigner]

Just on the other side of town, near the library. I trust that your ability to track me will probably be more efficient than if I gave you the address. ::chuckles:: Although you may have that as well if you like.

And now comes the setting up part, ja? *grins, carrying a box of Random Things into the one bedroom of the apartment*

[lostforeigner]

::nods, grinning back:: It should not take too long if we both work at it, I think. ::gives him a kiss on the forehead, then goes to get another box::

[bbluvsu]

It should not, but it's definitely not one of my favorite parts. *smiles at the kiss, setting the box on the floor and pulling it open, discovering it is not just Random Things, but Random Clothing*

[lostforeigner]

::brings in the box, setting it down gratefully on the bed with a sigh, and opens it up:: ...Ah, books. No wonder it was so heavy. ::chuckles::

[ipwnturtles]

Congratulations, Alfons! Now you and your brother can be as loud as you want, right? *grins teasingly* Where is the new apartment, anyway? And you need any help moving? I may not be able to lift stuff so well being in the wheelchair, but I make an excellent cart.

[lostforeigner]

Ah, danke! ... ::blushes:: On the southwest side of town, actually. On Merchant Street, a few blocks from the library. And your help would be greatly appreciated!

[ipwnturtles]

Well I know where that is~ *beams* Just let me know what I need to do and I'd be more than willing, alright?

[lostforeigner]

I would hope so. ::laughs a little:: The apartment is #12, so feel free to drop by any time. As far as moving in, we have most things out of Clara's place by now, so if you would not mind helping unpack, it would be extremely helpful. Brother or I will return to Clara's and finish packing the rest of our stuff this weekend.

[betterthaned]

*pouts* I don't want you to leave!

[lostforeigner]

I know, Alphonse, but Brother and I were never planning on staying, and were at Clara's longer than we had hoped to be as it is. I would like it if you would visit us, though.

[betterthaned]

You should've planned on it, not like Auntie Clara would've mind having you guys around. *sighs* I guess I could visit you. Maybe.

[lostforeigner]

I know, but we did not want to have to rely on her forever. It is nice to have the freedom that comes with taking care of oneself. ::smiles:: You are free to, whenever you like.
