Pleased to hear that Li Min has found work that will allow him to advance his magic, Walter nearly comments upon it when his friend subtly shifts the topic. His head tips to one side as he listens, slate blue eyes inquisitive and smile readily returning when his friend mentions the prize money from the tournament being enough for the down payment.
Once again ready to congratulate him on his achievement, Walter is then completely taken off-guard by the offer. His smile drops, lips slightly parted as his eyes go wide in bewilderment.
"...I..." He flounders, fumbling for words, for coherent thought. The transition from one place of living into another has always been a matter of necessity for him; in coming to Avalon, in moving into his master's house. Living with someone he's just met isn't new for him; moving into the family manor of his master had literally involved precisely that. To be invited to live with someone purely on his own choice with no pressing need on his part, however... that is new.
"You want me to live with you?" He'd heard that right, right?
He could help, he thinks. He has experience in household duties and in household repairs. "You're sure?"
He is Learning Things.
