The mention of anything 'permanent' in regards to Abraxas, though - that's enough to make him uneasy in a way where even Claude doesn't have the right words for, but fortunately he also doesn't feel like voicing it. ]

I dunno about permanent, but... I guess that's the close enough term for it. [ Hmm - ] I'm assuming that'd cost a fair amount of money and there's some other things I'd rather check off the list first. Because this is just a hunch I have, but I'm thinking maybe everyone else might want more living space before we start thinking about horses.

[ And also: Claude should probably finish paying for the goggles made by Viktor he'd commissioned, but that'll be saved for a surprise for later. ]
