Characters: Date Masamune, Temeraire and Mushu
Location: Death City Heights, Temeraire and Mushu (and soon to be Date's) apartment
Rating: PG because it's Date
Time: March 14, afternoon
Description: Date moves in with his new partner.

He didn't have much stuff to begin with. Packing was a breeze since all he had to do was throw it into a trunk and it was ready to go. Most of Date's things managed to fit into one wooden trunk which he hauled over to Death City Heights with the help of some locals. It was just the basics and really, he didn't need much else.

When Temeraire invited Date to live with him, at first he was hesitant. Mainly because it took him a while to get used to his apartment in this strange place but he accepted after a while, that he probably needed to move out. He needed to get to know his weapon as well as he knew Kojuro.

Which is why he turns up at the appropriate door. He's not even going to knock, he's just going to enter.

... Except the door is locked.

"Hey Tem! Temeraire!" yelled Date as he pounded his fist on the wood. Let him, won't you?

He had been resting in the living room, taking some time to read for a small while. It was then that he heard the familiar voice at the door, as well as hear his own name being called.

Hence, he stood up, padded over toward the door, and opened it. It didn't surprise him that it was Date himself - what did surprise him was the fact that he had brought along a trunk with him. His clothing, perhaps? He knew not, but it was not polite to leave his new partner hanging.

"Mr. Date, pray do come inside," he said with a smile. "I hope you do forgive me for the mess," he said as he led the young man into a near-immaculate room, save for two or three books on the floor, one of which was wide open, "but I have only been doing some light reading."

Tem had mentioned the new partner deal. Mushu understood the reasoning behind it. The whole Zone Leader thing that the guy had going on would be easier if he could become his amazing swordy self. The red dragon crawled off the stove, turning the flame down to a simmer, and made his way towards the living room. With an eye roll he shook his head at Tem's comment.

"Man. This ain't a mess. You wanna mess ya should try slinkin' around a horse stable." He shuddered and continued towards his forever claimed spot on the couch. A small glance up at Date, "Hey."

"Don't call me Mr. Date, that's way too stiff for my liking. The name's Date Masamune. Call me Date. Or Masamune. Just not Mr. Date like I'm some kind of stiff." said Date as he pulled his trunk into the living room. He places his hands on his hips and looked around admiringly.

He let out a whistle. "Nice place."

Then his attention focused on the other... dragon. And in a second his eyes lit up again.

"Dragon." he said, addressing Mushu.

He gave him a not in acknowledgment. It was true that he should... not be too formal with the person who was now, in essence, his partner. He had done as much for his previous meister, and it was a step to get along better with one another.

"If it is not too forward of me to do so, then I shall call you Masamune from now on."

Without any suffix. He knew what sort of step this was for him, or at least what he thought it would be based on what the current, modern culture would dictate.

"Ah, you two should get acquainted," he said as he noticed that Date had simply called Mushu 'dragon.' He settled himself in the open area near the couch.

He motioned over toward the smaller, red dragon, "Masamune, this is Mushu, my roommate. Mushu, I have already told you about my new partner, Date Masamune, yes?"

Did...he say dragon? Not lizard or salamander? Just flat out, dragon. Mushu grinned and stretched out on the sofa. "Yeah, yeah, ya did man. Hi."

New partner. Mushu just grinned, "So, y'all gonna be hangin' around here, man?"

"Masamune's cool." He nodded in approval. Good Tem, you're getting the hang of being less stiff.

"I'm the One Eyed Dragon of Oshuu. Nice to meet ya." Masamune bowed his head respectfully in the direction of the other dragon. "You live here too, Mushu?"

He only nodded again, for acknowledgement of his words. Well, if he was fine with it, then things should go just well between the two of them.

However, he now lay silent as he watched the interaction between his close friend, and his new Meister - soon to become a close friend himself. He hoped that they would get along well famously, only that he was unsure for a while as to how it would go.

Yet he sensed that Mushu had a somewhat more favourable view of Masamune now that he heard him. Now to see how it would follow on, and see how it would all unfold.

If this guy can help Tem relax a little, he's already got Mushu approval.

"Yeah, someone has to make sure nothin' happens to Temmy-baby there." He jabbed his thumb towards the other dragon. Mushu was hesitant to mention that he'd also been watching Toph too, he still got pissed over so many people getting brought and sent to and from Death City.

"Think y'all can handle two all mighty, powerful, dragons under one room." Because really...soemtimes it was like the Odd couple with scales in here.

Masamune nods. He's from the Basara version of Japan. Nothing really phases him at this point because he's done it all, before Death City and Shibusen.

"If you've got room for a third, I'm in."

He totally was going to enjoy this I mean - dragons! Actual dragons! Not just him pretending to be a dragon but cool dragon bros who understood him. And he understood them back. Hopefully.

Date looked back to his partner.

"Do I get a room?"

Yes, Mushu did look out for him, even more so than anyone else would think: as the larger dragon, he had the greater share of the food so as to at last keep on going throughout the day, and Mushu did cook a mean Wonton soup.

"I am very sure we do have room for a third dragon, Masamune."

After his inquiry, he stood up, "Yes, you do. Come..."

It was not as if it were an extravagantly large dwelling, but it did serve its purpose if it could fit him despite his size. Some ducking and tucking of wings at times through the doors, yes, but all in all it was still comfortable.

The only free bedroom was the one that was opposite the kitchen, while he had been using the room with the view ever since he moved into the apartment. It made sense due to his size, and the other one had more storage space fit for a human.

"This shall be your room, Masamune. I know that this might not be much, but we call it home, as I hope that you too shall call it as such some time soon."

It wasn't as though Mushu really need much room. So long as people looked down when they got into the living room, he was fine. The little dragon watched Tem give the 'Grand Tour' and he skittered towards the kitchen. Crawling up onto the counter he started setting things out for a small snack.

And at least from where he was crawling around he had a good view of Tem an Masamune.

"Hey, man...you ain't gotta worry. This is your pad now."
