Tohru hummed in agreement. He was actually getting kind of excited about their new place. He'd never really had anyone to share a place with since he'd left his parents, and even then, he'd never done a ton to his place, just out of convenience. Having an extra pair of hands definitely make a difference here.
Davin smiled again, happy at the prospect of being able to decorate their new home.

"Did you want to buy some decorative pillows for the couch?" Tohru suggested, thinking out loud.
"Oh, sure." he replied. "Just as long as they're comfortable too, and not just decorative." he shot Tohru another smile.
group
Tohru laughed to himself; he had been about to say the same.
"Of course. There's no point in having them if you can't use them."
He nodded a little. "Obviously."
group
Tohru pointed at one of the shops.
"There's that one, and there's a secondhand shop a couple of blocks over. There could be more stores, but I'm not certain."
Davin nodded. "Let's go to that first one." He replied, angling over to the first store that Tohru had pointed out.
group
"Okay," he agreed, leading the way in.
He pushed the door open and held it just long enough that Davin could follow.
"Just looking in the window, I kind of like this place."
Davin smiled. "Me too." He agreed, following Tohru inside and looking around curiously.
group
Tohru grabbed a cart from the front of the store and pushed it in front of them. He looked back over Davin.
"What do you want to look for first?"
Davin hummed for just a moment. "Mm…I'm not sure." he lauhed faintly.
group
"Well, we know we want pillows… mm, what else?" Tohru muttered to himself, trying to sort out how to do this.
"Knickknacks and paint." He supplied with a soft smile..
group
"Okay, great. Maybe pick out the paint first, so we know what to match decor to? And if they have to mix a color for us, we can shop instead of waiting around," Tohru suggested.
"Perfect!" he replied, looking around for the paint section of the store.
group
Tohru walked along the shelf and looked at the paint chips. He picked up a couple and scanned his gaze across some of the colors.
Davin walked a little distance away, looking at other paint ideas.
group
After grabbing a few more chips, Tohru met back up with Davin.
"See anything you like?" he asked.
Davin hummed faintly, picking up a chip that was a sort of muted gold. "I like this one, though probably only one wall should be done in this color, if we use it."
group
"Yeah, that's nice," Tohru agreed, "Although if you wanted to do a whole room in it, then the kitchen or bathroom would be fine. Otherwise, it might look nice with a tan or brown color."
He showed his paint chips to Davin and pointed at a couple of hues of blue. One was a steel blue, and the others were a darker sky and sapphire.
"Do you like any of these?"
He gestured to the sky and sapphire. "Those two. They might actually look nce with the gold, maybe." he shrugged a little.
group
"Yeah, that could be nice. We could do that in the bedroom, maybe," Tohru replied, "They're kind of soothing, you know?"
"Yeah!" He agreed with a smile, looking over at Tohru. "That sounds perfect."
group
"Great. How about some sort of soft green for the kitchen? And anything else you have to input, of course," Tohru replied.
"Yeah, a soft green sounds good." He replied, smiling again as he looked over at Tohru.
group
"Alright, great. Anything else?" Tohru questioned, moving the paint colors they weren't going to use to the side in his hands.
He thought for a moment. "Actually…maybe not the gold. I…" He studied the chip for a moment. "I don't know…if the color…" He bit his lip for a moment. "It's a beautiful color, but…on a full wall, I don't…" He was having a hard time saying what he meant. That the gold would remind him too much of a dying planet.
group
Tohru paused for a second, trying to understand where Davin was coming from. It wasn't quite right, to react so strongly over a paint color, he thought.
"Are you alright?" he asked softly, "We don't have to use it if you don't want. Or I can paint small detailing with it against the blue, if that's more your speed."
He tilted his head, not knowing if his offer would actually help.
"The…" He closed his eyes for a moment. "I'm sorry. It's the…color. It…reminds me too much of the, ah…sky? On…Kaythan." He said slowly, rubbing his face with a hand. "I'm….really sorry. I just…I don't know if I could handle a full wall."
