[ after beaugate... majima's outside smoking, letting her rest after Everything. he's learned to stay out of the way of the people who have known her longer at this point, so it's actually a bit of a surprise to him when huaisang joins him. ]
So she's definitely a permanent resident now, right?
She is. I would ask if you have objections, but I would be bringing her here regardless.
[huaisang is... honestly, too drained right now to fake it as much as usual, especially after all his time in the mansion, after having to drop the act there in the end.]
There's a ton of people I've gotten close to, though, but the only one I'd willingly share a bed with is my partner, and even then, it's a stretch to plunk the both of us in a single bunk together. Why doesn't one of you sleep in the free one?
[his fan comes up to cover the lower half of his face, gaze sliding to the side.]
We grew used to it, back at the mansion. She did. Evidently, she wasn't used to sleeping alone, and she was having a difficult time, so I... set propriety aside, for a while.
[and then they tried to sleep separately here but Here Beau Is.]

I didn't really expect you to, when the two of you seem to get along.

[ he scoots over a bit to let huaisang sit next to him. ]
...hah. I feel like if I start to openly worry 'bout her, she'll spring right up an' punch me with her good hand.

[he manages a slight smile at that.]
...she'll be fine. She's stood up to quite a lot, already.

[ he peeks over at huaisang out of the corner of his eye. ]
The two of ya care 'bout each other a lot. How'd that happen?
[ it's not teasing; he's genuinely curious about their bond. it doesn't take someone with 20/20 vision to see that theirs is strong. ]
no subject
[he hums to himself, considering a moment.]
-she helped save my life. There isn't really a way not to get close to someone then, is there?
wanders back here,
