you're gold on black tar - moving

YOU NEVER GAVE UP ON ME; WHY DON'T YOU?
I'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU SEE; WHY WON'T YOU?

It was nice to see Brandyskies up and out of the temple, for several reasons. For one, Michael was just glad to see the other out and about after his rather... exciting return. Plus, less patients in the temple meant less stress for Roan, which was good considering the soothsayer's recent return, and his own injuries. Of course, with Brandy out of the temple, the dealer had sort of just... expected the other to move back in with his mom. However, it seemed as though that wasn't an option, considering Goldie still spent most of her time in the temple, and he imagined it was hard, being around her without all her memories, especially when you were one of her kids. He also supposed that Brandy was an adult nowadays, although he couldn't deny that felt surreal to think about. It felt like just yesterday when Brandy and his siblings had been born, so fresh faced and tiny.

The soft hum that Brandy was letting out was what drew Michael over, the bobcat moving to sit down near the doorway. He didn't come inside just yet, not wanting to just step into the other's home uninvited. That was assuming this would be Brandy's home – which seemed pretty likely considering the fact that the other was sweeping up an otherwise empty hut. Nodding his head to both Lucy and Eulia – while knowing full well that Lu was unlikely to return any such greeting – the dealer then questioned Brandy, "Hey, Brandy... you got anything to put in here, yet? If you're moving in, I could get you some furniture. Most of the merchants know me by name at this point." He usually went to them to ask about jewelry, but he could make an exception for Brandy – they usually gave him deals on trades anyways.
