Break and Liam have a house, now.

Liam was an absolute brat about surprising him with it; he'd kept Xerxes thinking they were just getting an apartment right up until Knave had magicked him into his knew home. After that he'd gone all gloaty and teased his partner for having babbled about wanting a house with a white picket fence and a dog, but really, Liam deserved to gloat. The house was perfect. There was more than enough room for all the books, a room that could serve as a studio for Break, and a downstairs bedroom where they could sleep if Break didn't feel up to navigating the stairs on that knee. Bat had a whole attic to himself now, and there was a cozy little nook of a room under the staircase for Trump and Sally to curl up in. The upstairs held a guest room or two, something they would never have needed at home -- but now, it's not unlikely that they'll be entertaining company now and again, particularly with Break so close with so many of the children.

Much as he'd like to know what else he'd jabbered at Liam about while on this particular round of very good painkillers, Break is more than pleased with how this has turned out, and Liam is pleased that Break is pleased. It is a very cozy house.
