So, I have a question. And I don't know who to ask.

When we arrived here, we were assigned certain rooms. Given the key and everything. What if... What if we wanted to change where we're sleeping? Can you do that or is that not allowed. I mean, this place can be pretty particular with the things it requires. And, clearly, it likes to have fun with us, even if we won't find it as funny.

I'm not as good at words as some.

What if two people wanted to share a room. Would they pick one of their own rooms? Would they have to take a new room? Like... Do we have to get permission from the inn manager or something?

[Bucky is pretty sure that his questions are going to come off as stupid, that it is information everyone should already know. Even if he doesn't know it.]

Who would I talk to about changing my room, I guess?

I think you're plenty good at words when you need to be.

It's still hard for me to try to put words into words. I can picture them, but when I try to say them or write them down, it doesn't always come out right.

Thanks, punk.

Just keep practicing.

You can always practice with me.

I... Try.

So, what did you think? Do you have an answer to my question?

I think it's a waste for us both to have rooms when we're really only using one most of the time, so I think we should share a room instead of using two.

But no, I don't have an answer to the question you posted here.

It seems really wasteful. At least to me.

Hmm, your room or mine?

Yeah... I'm not sure there is a 'someone' to talk to about it?

Agreed.

Mine? I don't think it really matters.

I suppose we could ask the friendly clerk at the front desk for an extra key to my room, and then surrender yours.

Unless you want to keep it. Just in case.

I mean. Is there a reason to keep both? Especially since mine is so loud in color?

I don’t think I would need it?

I assume you're asking about the process of moving in with the Captain? (It would be too entertaining if you were considering just ripping off a doorknob and moving into an empty room!)

No, I want to get out of my room that looks like I live in a Steve shrine...

Yeah, kinda.

Ah, I see. I'm not sure there's a way, for that - the only moves I've ever heard of are moves from single-occupancy into a couple or family situation.

You might try speaking to Valkyrie about the possibility of taking her room? If you think a pink monstrosity also occupied by a propriety-obsessed ghost addicted to rose perfume and disdain would be an improvement, that is.

Loki... I was using sarcasm.

I think that might be worse. I'd rather live in the Steve Rogers shrine of red, white and blue than switch to cotton candy pink.

And yes, I was thinking of asking Steve to move in with me. Or I move in with him. I... I don't know how it would work.

Damn. You caught me on an actually-helpful swing when I could have exercised a little playful cruelty. Such a waste!

I think you or he just moves. Stark lives in Thor's room and uses his room as a work space, as far as I know.

You still have time. Swing away.

Didn't Tony have a cave or something? Thor's room is probably a bit of an improvement.

So, my room or Steve's. No third option... Okay.

You could do what the raccoon does. Sleep in random places and bite anyone who wakes you up. The problem with that is your teeth aren't especially threatening.

Stark's room is honestly not bad; it's not like humans haven't spent millennia living in rooms and buildings made of stone. Thor's is much worse, in my view, being neon green and covered in pink daisies.

So, I need to file them down and make them more threatening? I could do that. The sleeping in random places, that's not new to me. Maybe if I just growl instead?

Neon green and pink daisies. I think I'd rather live in the cave.

You could keep a knife in your flesh hand and just flail it at anyone who comes near you, too. Or punch with the metal one, I suppose.

Same! I remain grateful that my room is decidedly inoffensive.

I have done both before in the past, so that wouldn't be a new challenge to me.

Might scare some people.

I'm a little envious.

Is that not the point?

I would consider offering to share space, but I just gained a roommate and I'm not inclined to share further.

It probably is the point, yes. Though perhaps I should not encourage the opinion some might already have of me.

Oh really? Care to share who your new living space dweller is?

Reputations can be useful things!

Valkyrie.

Hmmm. Very true. I guess. But does that help or hinder?

Really... Nice. You dog, you.

It's all in how you use it.

I'm pleased with the arrangement. She seems to be as well.

You know, it really does. I think I just want to make sure people are not scared of me. Had enough of that back home. I just want to live.

She is a good person, I think. I don’t know her very well. I’m happy for you.

You may never get to where no one is scared of you. The best I've found in that case is to ensure that the level of fear is such that they avoid you rather than feel driven to attack.

She is, yes. Despite that, we get on - clearly one of the universe's mysteries.

~~I think I'm happy as well, but how would I know?~~ Thank you.

I think that's the best option in this scenario. I haven't seen many people since arriving here. Mostly due to the fact that I hide myself more than I probably should. I am not... I don't do very well with being social. I'm trying?

You're not as bad as you think you are. At least in my opinion.

You're welcome. Is it an odd feeling for you, being, well... Enjoying company?

It takes practice, though admittedly I keep to myself a fair bit too.

In some ways, yes. I haven’t shared space full-time with someone else since Thor and I were small enough children to share a room.

But people seem to like you.

Do you like spending time with her? Does she make you smile?

I think that’s mostly a matter of people here only knowing what I’ve presented here. If they’d had more experience of me, things would be different.

Oddly, yes to both, very much so.

It’s mostly a matter of people not having any experience of me outside of this place. If they knew me, it would be different.

Yes to both, very much so.

I know you. You are not so bad.

See, you're happy. It's a good thing.

It’s a new thing for me, if so.

I no longer inhabit the room I was assigned. I did not attempt to convince the Inn that I did not need it, so it is still in my name and I possess the key. Thus far there has been no retaliation. I did not attempt to acquire an uninhabited room for myself, so I do not know if that is possible.

You could select someone in need of a companion and move in. That is what I did. Sam needed a sister, and I required a brother - as ours were not present at the time it seemed a logical solution. He only balked a little. Probably best to ask first.

Hi, River. Thank you. I am not sure what I will do. I'm still just trying to decide, I think. If I do begin to share a room with someone else, then I won't need my room as well.

I... I think I already have found a companion?

I have kept my room because it seemed easier than trying to convince Darryl that I no longer required it.

Darryl fails at conversations with substance.

As my sister pointed out, combining rooms is not resisted by the Inn. Darryl won't ask for your room key back unless we run out of rooms.

If you try to change your room without moving in with someone else, you will find your things back in your room by the next morning at the very latest.

If you ask Darryl if you can have a new room, he usually ignores you. But there have been some room changes. Stephanie and Kitty, I think. Caroline and Regina would know.

Ah, so it's move in or stay. Thank you, Sam. That makes a lot of sense. I was wondering if maybe the person I will be sharing with and I may request a new room as opposed to the two separate ones we already have. Though, likely, we'll just keep one of the rooms we have since it will be easier.

Is there a reason you couldn't (or wouldn't) simply share one of the rooms without relinquishing your other room?

There is no reason, no. Why would we need the second room?
