"Do you have a roommate then?" Vex asks, feigning indifference to hide her curiosity.
She's sure it's better not to pry into who Percy is sleeping next to, considering that's a slippery slope in the direction of who he's sleeping with.
And Vex knows she has no right to get jealous on that count. Not when she has more than one lover herself.
Pushing the thought away, she mounts the rest of the steps. At the top, a landing leads on one hand to another, steeper staircase up to Vax's attic, and on the other to one door, and her bedroom on the other side.
She doesn't hesitate to open that, ushering Percy into a wide room, also with windows on two sides to let in natural light. The walls are freshly painted white and the floor has been recently scrubbed. Some of the boards still creak, but difficult to expect otherwise in an older house. Especially one so oddly constructed.
