Pffffffft. Orion should not have laughed at the image the house falling into the sea, but now that that mental image was put in his head he couldn’t help but see it. “Guess it’d become a Davy Jones locker…” he muttered briefly under breath. Flipping through a few more house pages.
“Oh—“ there was a pause before he turned his phone around. This particular house was… kind of odd but neat? It was semi-rounded from the outside and featured two stories and a ramp and walk way around the outside of the second story. Orion might have guessed the lower story was like a car port area with that design but apparently not? The price below it was a little higher end but not nearly as expensive as the one they’d been looking at. “Says they have kitchen two islands??” Orion squinted not sure of how that was possible but deciding they probably just needed to see it for themselves???

Ha... ha that locker joke was NOT helping but it amused him anyway? Okay, heh...
Nik tilted his head as he looked at the house. A brief delay, then he slightly snorted. "The fuck?" He shouldn't have been snickering but here he was. "That's kinda stupid??" Ah oh no he didn't mean to sound that derisive but it was so amusing and weird and?
"I mean I kinda like it," he clarified maybe a bit too late. "I just wonder who thought this was a good idea? Like do the rooms have corners or all they all weirdly shaped or--" Oh hey the waiter looked like he was headed this way. "We can check it out after dinner if you want."

Orion’s lips quirked a bit at Nik’s words. “Well I thought it was cool,” he answered with a small huff. As Nik clarified, however, he shrugged his shoulders a bit. Well, they could check it out, he guessed. His thumb tagged it in the phone, and he started to flip for more of them.
Meanwhile, the waiter had brought what was ordered all packaged and wrapped up just like requested. Orion’s eyes flickered to Nik, and a smirk did pull on his features. “Let’s hurry home and eat then,” he mused winking very briefly. He… had not forgotten what else he wanted to do at home heh.
When Nik was ready to go, Orion clasped his hand lacing their fingers as they walked out. “My place then?” he asked-winked. “Till we finish dinner.”

Nik... smiled a bit too hard as Orion took his hand. The feeling of his ring would take some getting used to, but it was so, so nice to feel it there. "Sounds good~"
Some time later, Nik lay with his back against Orion, the latter able to look over the prior's shoulders as they browsed through some more options for this round. "Nah... No... Maybe? Nah.. Maybe." He bookmarked whatever ones caught either's eye.
When they had a good selection built up, Nik... whined. "I dun wanna mooove," he pouted. "Let's just live here. Not the apartment. Just right here. The blankets are melding with me as we speak. I'm becoming one of them. I can't leeaave."

That was…. quite a number of houses they had to look at, Orion had to agree. This could take days if not hours, and even they would they find The One? Sigh. He almost wished it had been as easy as apartment shopping had been, but of course it couldn’t be. Well, they had time right? Time right now too of course.
Nik’s whine, however, had him smirking softly. “We could, you know…” he answered a bit dryly. “Just stay here… it’s … not like my bedroom does have a window~” He flashed a grin before letting his features fall. “I… wouldn’t mind…” A regular kitchen, a comfortable living space, the apartment wasn’t bad by any means or any stretch. He had picked it out, after all… But…. ah, he was trying not to sound disappointed and Arceus c’mon it wasn’t like they couldn’t just look some other time off handedly rather than intentionally but bleh….

Nik rolled over to wrap his arms around him. "Mmmmmm... I love Sinclair," he almost sighed. He snuggled into Orion's chest, then murmured, "But I love you more." A few idle kisses trailed along his collar bone. "The apartment's fine while we look, whether it takes us the rest of the night or the next month. But we'll find a place to really make ours...~"
Admittedly, he guessed... He did wanna go sooner than later. He didn't dislike Jazz or anything but still had only really talked to him in passing and only felt more awkward about trying to get to know him the longer that passed. ... Which.. made him realize he should confirm actually... "Hey uh. Jazz ever figure out what he wants to do?"

A soft chuckle escaped from Orion. “I love you too,” he answered, bringing a hand up to feel through Nik’s hair. Yes, everything was good right now… too good almost but good none the less. It would be fine— Orion’s hand froze at Nik’s question. A soft sigh escaped from him, and that hand dropped to Nik’s side instead. “Not.. entirely sure just yet….” he sighed. “Came home the other day and found him upset because of some stuff with Luke and we just … haven’t really talk talked about it since.” Orion closed his eyes and sort of deflated a little bit further into the bed.

"...Ah." Nik realized how much he had started just quietly assuming? And he knew he really shouldn't have but... ah. "We'll just have to make sure there's room either way then."
... Pulling the bookmark list up, he took off a few three bedroom houses that weren't also marked as having an office or study or anything. He didn't want to wind up feeling cramped if Jazz did come with them. At least one free room of some kind was ideal. ...Then again, Max was used to having a room and staying out of his ball. He'd probably be fine sharing with whatever other Pokemon wanted some space in like a designated Pokemon Room but... hm. ...Where we're the most four and five room houses?
Pulling up a map with pins of his list, he asked, "Do you wanna go for a walk..?" He traced a route. "There are a few in this neighborhood not toooo far apart. We could.. Maybe take some of the stress off by nixing the constant ports and making this half house browsing, half a nice evening stroll together..~?"

A small sigh and nod was given. “Yeah…” They really… needed a lot of room, didn’t they? That was… that was really going to add to expenses wasn’t it? Orion mentally groaned. There… had to be a way of cutting the difference alongside maybe having Ms. Nik’s-Mom, Marceline, and— Maybe Dad. Yikes, Dad— doing what they could.
The question pulled him back from his thoughts, and Orion looked down to the neighborhood Nik had selected. Half-browsing half-nice evening sounded pretty alright. Shifting his head and kissing Nik’s cheek then his neck, Orion mumbled against his skin. “Amore mio, mi piacerebbe venire con te,” he chuckled right up against Nik’s ear. “We’re going to have to fight our way out of bed again though…” When they finally did get up, Orion pulled on a different set of clothes and brushed out his hair briefly. The way his hand moved as he did so also had him spinning the ring a little which only made him smile a bit more. When Nik was ready, they’d go.

Nik was tempted to just throw some clothes on but... Eh, he really liked looking cute for Orion and had just kind of gone straight from errands to looking earlier. So for this outing he took some time to do his hair and eye makeup at least, even if he didn't feel like running home for clothes and only had a few things over here to choose from.
When ready, he had Lucy port them to the far side of the neighborhood in Pahala. As Nik's feet hit the metallic street, he smiled lightly and tapped a shoe against it. "I actually like this too. Guess I kind of got used to it instead of pavement in Sinclair~" He didn't know why Pahala wasn't on the list to start, but he did have high hopes now.
"Think Sir Eats-a-lot would enjoy a stroll with Luce, btw? Or wanna make it more private?" His tone conveyed he was fine with both really. "Either way, thinking both to save time and since it's more populated here, only check inside the houses that really pique our interest from the outside. Like if the yard's too small in person or it looks more run down than the pics we can pass."

As the appeared on Pahala’s landing, the smell of the sea hit Orion, and suddenly he was taking in a deep breath of it. Damn, this was almost better than the lake…. Sure, it was pure water over there but this was the smell of salt and sea and hhhhhh.. “It’s nice,” he spoke reaching a few fingers up and running them through his hair. Feels like… Yeah, heh.
Sir Eats-a-lot would most definitely enjoy hanging out with Lucy, and on mentioning it, Orion fished out their Pokeball once again. As they burst forth, the Eelektross would thrust out their arms taking in the smell and sight and fweeeee water huh? They couldn’t wait to fish! Oh wait- look Lucy! Hi! 8V
“Sounds like a plan,” Orion answered looking down at Nik’s phone to gauge where they were before looking up again. “So two houses on this platform and then a couple more on the next,” slowly looking up again. “Let’s get going then~” Hooking part of an arm around Nik, he slowly dropped it and laced their fingers together instead.

Aaaa hello again beautiful eel friend~ Today was pretty tiring with all the jumping around but much better when spent with friends.
Nik frowned a bit-- then smiled as Orion took his hand, hehe. Then went back to a more neutral expression as he looked at his phone's GPS. Hm, he meant to stick to one platform so they wouldn't have to deal with bridges, but he guessed he could hardly blame Lucy for being off when they'd spent so little time in Pahala.
"Sounds good." Looking out at the horizon, he noted, "Sun's getting kinda low, huh? It'll be a really nice backdrop while we walk~" Off to the first pin on the map then.

It was nice. The air was nice, the sky was nice, the sea was nice, Nik was nice and ahhhhh… Wandering down the platform way to the first house, Orion slowly tilted his head to it. “A metal house huh…” He hadn’t quite realized it was metal. From the pictures it looked almost more brick than not. The yard, at least, extended to the end of the platform in the back which was pretty neat. Two stories, four bedrooms, not bad? Maybe on to the next one, though. He didn’t… want to get too invested too quickly heh.
The next was a bit smaller and made of a mixture of materials. Two stories still but a bit too small a yard for anything to be done. Maybe if they could… extend the platforms themselves or something that would be one thing but…. There was probably some kind of city regulation or something regarding that and that just sounded like a headache. Nope.
Passing on through the area, however, Orion found his gaze flickering around at the houses not for sale and the businesses that seemed almost interwoven into them. There was a bakery nearby not that it was open now but nice? A pub was also right there. Not a bad area at least~

Nik took notice of the bakery as well. "Ahhh, that almost makes me wanna consider that house a bit stronger. The other ones are more residential if I read right, but I'd love to be able to easily walk over to local places in the mornings..." As he said that, a thought occurred and he smirked slowly. "Of course, you can just make me breakfast, but still." He laughed lightly. The bridge was... A bit annoying, but Nik supposed he'd get used to them if they lived here. There weren't toooo many major platforms after all. The next house on their list wasn't far from there, and... "Oh shit it's that one with two covered decks." If Orion wanted a place to smoke, this was it lol. "The yard's... not AS big as I'd hoped but not bad? Ya think?" He pulled out his phone to check again and... "Oh hey, two of the four bedrooms are marked as master, too." Looking around to see if anyone was paying much attention, he asked, "Wanna check it out?" Reference but not furnished

Orion did preen a bit too much at the mention of making Nik breakfast. “My cooking’s better anyways~” he chuckled a bit not entirely sure he believed his own words but trying hard enough anyways. The bridge had him swaying a little but not too bad.
AYYYYYYYY that second story deck and those fannnnnnssss (and the lower story deck and those fans). “Damn that’s—“ super nice. He liked how big those windows were too and the fact the doors were window heh. His eyes flashed back to Nik, and a quick nod was given at the offer. Hell yeah he wanted to see the inside.
As they teleported in, Orion’s eyes grew. W-wow? That natural lighting? That open concept floor design? That island kitchen. Don’t fall in love don’t fall in love don’t— “Damn this is nice..” Wandering through the main downstairs area, he paused as they came to the first floor Master bedroom. “This is … not bad…” Wandering into the adjacent bathroom, he found himself staring at the separate bath tub and shower. That was so nice and— Don’t get attached… “Nik— how much was this place again?” Better to ask before… they went to the second floor or anything heh.
