"Oh, yeah, I guess that would be a better option," Taavi agreed with a weak grin, an upward curve of his mouth that briefly showed teeth at least. "Plus, you know, he's quite small so he wouldn't take up much space." This much conversation seemed to exhaust Taavi as with a last shrug he looked down at his plate and started the laborious process of eating with a throat that didn't want to let him swallow.
In the kitchen Zevran had just put a third pancake on a stack waiting to go out to the living room, and was half way through eating one of his own. "Ah, good timing," he smiled to Abel. "All is well, did you enjoy? Humm, and yes actually; would you wash one of the small pans for me? I have finished the eggs and bacon, and I would like to start warming the frozen fruit." Maybe with a splash of brandy? The alcohol would cook off by the time it was ready to serve leaving just the flavour.

she said as she tried not to sound too pleased, and buried her face in the fabric of his sleeve.
"It is," Abel affirmed with a small smirk as he turned off the tap and grabbed a towel to dry the pan with. "I'll tempt you all I want, and you say that like I'd want to get rid of you." He couldn't imagine wanting to get rid of his friend, and he couldn't help but ponder the notion more seriously. While Taavi had lived there for months now - he couldn't recall off the top of his head quite how long it had been, but probably near a year now - his apartment wasn't exactly made for roommates. Couples, though...
...but why was he even entertaining the thought? He already was one half of a couple, even if he had no desire to be and never wanted to see her again, and on top of that he'd already come to the realization long ago that he shouldn't date anyone else anyway, not after Molly. Had she found someone to settle down with, to have the children she'd wanted with? He couldn't give her either of those things. Hell, he couldn't even give Taavi a safe place to stay until he got back on his feet. No, there was no way he could inflict himself on anyone else like that again, and it was selfish of him to think otherwise. All of Taavi's problems since moving here had been entirely his fault, without any doubt. All of it, all of it was his fault, all of his suffering--
"Here," he said, abruptly interrupting and scattering his miserable thoughts, and offered the dry pan to Zevran with a small, wan smile. "Anything else you need or want help with?"

Teasing; he always teased, he enjoyed teasing, but that little bout of teasing left him feeling very much like he'd done or said something wrong, something he shouldn't have. It wasn't a very good feeling. "I'm sorry," he said quickly, almost on reflex, and withdrew his hand as Zevran pulled away. His fingers fidgeted a bit before he turned and opened a drawer to fumble through it. "I don't have a zester, no, but I've a small grater you can use." As he spoke, he found and pulled out the instrument in question before offering it to his friend.
He hesitated for a few more seconds. "I'm sorry," he said again, though this time the words were more deliberate, apologetic. Abel sighed and pushed his fingers through his hair. "I just... I don't know. I think too much - or maybe I just have too much to think about, or stress about. Like how I shouldn't even have one roommate in an apartment meant for one person," he said, lowering his voice a bit. He didn't think Taavi would hear anyway but spoke softer just in case; the last thing he wanted to do was make his friend feel bad for something he had no control over. "So there's no way I could have another, management'd probably kick me out or up my rent or something, and I can't afford either of those." He couldn't afford a lot of things, but that was besides the point. Arceus, what was he thinking - joking about having his homeless friend move in with him? So what if he lived in a warehouse? It was more or less abandoned, it probably didn't have any electricity or heat or running water or anything. Oh yes Abel, good idea, just go ahead and crack a joke like that to someone who didn't have somewhere even remotely decent to live. You a**.
