Yes. We got some green stuff at a pharmacy that's helping. You're going to have to explain how sunscreen works when I get home.

Okay, good. We could also, possibly, look at really big houses? If we can't find two next to each other that work, maybe a larger one would be better.

The "green stuff" would be aloe. It's very helpful for sunburns. And don't worry. I'll explain everything you ask. Larger one... hm. That might end up being less expensive in the end than two entire households.

That's what I thought. Maybe if we got one large enough, you and I could have one floor and the kids could have another?

It would be similar to how my covert worked back home. Everyone lived in one central location, with separate rooms for individual families and clans, but then came together for important parts of the day.

You make it sound as if we're buying an apartment building. Or a castle - fit for a knight. But I do like the idea. And I like it all the more when you put it in that light. Provided we can trust Riz alone with a coffee pot.

Definitely not a full building or a castle. More like a big old house that needs some work on it, which we would do ourselves.

Oh, believe me, the coffee pot is the one thing in the kitchen that Riz has mastered. He's perfectly safe with one of those on his own.

... Darling, I don't know how to break this to you, but I have no idea how to "work" on a house. I was a detective unit.

[Maybe one of the Build Team would know.]

I do believe you. But can we trust him with one on his own?

[He's teasing - really. If Mando says he's perfectly safe, then Riz is perfectly safe. But he can't resist the tease.]
