[ Hugo laughs, warm and open. He can’t help but tease first, but it’s a comment that actually makes him feel at ease. True, it’s not like any other Augmented has so much as batted an eye at him as a Spectral, but… The worry is always there. ]
Ah, it sounds like Spectrals are your favorite, then? Or maybe we’re fond of you~?
[ The lilt is his voice is playfully spooky, because what else would being a favorite of Spectrals be but a haunting? Clearly, it’s not a bad one, though, considering how his voice gets a more sincere right after. He may be joking around, but he wouldn’t want the offer that follows to come off that way. ]
But, no, please do take me up on it. I’m already paying to heat this damn building, so come borrow my heat as much as you’d like. As you can see—
[ With a grandiose gesture, he opens the main door from the little entryway into the much grander lobby. It’s all looking especially fresh and well-maintained, since this is what he’d finished up this week. To his point, though, there are several doors that branch off from the lobby. ]
[ the worry is always there — and though hugo covers it perfectly, silver can't help but wonder if that's the case. he's encountered the sentiment from other spectrals he counts among those he cares for the most, after all... and if anything, hugo is as expert of an actor as he himself is. like calls to like. ]
What can I say? I've always been fond of things that dwell in the dark.
[ there's a wry grin that follows the statement, and silver almost says something about the cost of heating — only, the main door flies open and the words leave his brain immediately. instead, what comes out is an impressed whistle as he takes in the sight and, turning to clap hugo on the shoulder, ]
Damn, if this isn't impressive! If this is what the entire gallery will look like, well, you'll have people showing up simply to admire the interior.
[ Hugo looks at Silver expectantly as he takes it in at first, but it’s quick to become a smile that easily reaches up to his eyes in warm pride. The are parts of this project that he’s not proud of (it’s previous owner, mostly), but he really has worked hard so far to make this something beautiful and worthwhile. He never does things halfway. ]
Ah, if only the rest of the gallery would look as grand as this… That was a little outside of my budget.
[ He chuckles as he steps to Silver’s side, watching curiously to see what details stand out to him. First impressions are valuable as market research, obviously! ]
But this foyer is why I chose this building, absolutely. It needed quite a bit of love to look this good, but I can at least say that not sleeping anymore has its advantages, I must admit.
