Please. I do not *scamper* I will slip in through the front door while you aren't home and replace your offending linens. You won't realize it until you get into bed or go to shower. Presuming you have the wherewithal to notice which I somewhat doubt given that you are still living like this Maybe I'll get you a bright color
I have been accused of both those things but never for socializing a man to appropriate linens
[ He is ABSOLUTELY going to sneak into Viktor's apartment when he's sure the other is out, partially to prove he can, and partially because gods the man might sleep better on real linens. He might bring him actual pillows while he's at it.
He will probably succeed at this before the week is out. He breaks in twice, actually, the first time to get sizes and see what he's working with, the second to actually swap them. Since Viktor's sheets were dark, he gets light ones, but still neutral -- he wants him to use them -- in good soft linen that breathes and two good down pillows of different firmnesses. ]
[It's a nice building, his rent and basic domestic services afforded by funding arrangement, and Balthier will find it easy enough to get in, with only a concierge and a locked door to contend with. Viktor wasn't lying; the apartment obviously came pre-furnished. It's more or less a second office. The home of a person completely uninterested in hosting anyone.
If only the culprit could be there to see his face when he turns on the light—the angle of his eyebrows is spectacular.
Acknowledgement comes the following evening:]
you are a crazy person. i thought i had somehow let myself in to the wrong apartment.
[ He is a bit of a crazy person. But also a good deal saner than most -- what is more absurd than behaving exactly as one has been trained to? ]
if all it takes to disorient you is a different color of sheets I am extremely concerned at your scientific ability How's your neck? I imagine it ought to be better than whatever it was. Presuming you actually slept on those pillows and didn't retire to the couch in protest.

Still. He's right and good bedding is great. And he'd read Viktor correctly that he wasn't going to be upset so much as flustered. ]
I look forward to your review
