It could be on the roof. To keep the footprint small. Just not over the bedroom. Can't block out night sky view. And we can still have a wall that's all windows. Like. One way glass windows.

On the roof. Of course. We're going to have to write this down. -or make an Enclosure program of it. Get it just perfect. Oh, maybe the rooftop could have a garden. Be a good place for the dogs to spend time.

And I should probably keep a room separately for tinkering. Keeping all my fishing gear and any parts- ah, right....

[ He looks over and grins. ] Haven't really been able to work on it here, but another hobby of mine is fixing up boats. I like working on the engines.

[Mechanical skill is impressive to Malcolm; he’s clearly impressed.] Gil used to let me help him work on his car. I know the names of almost all the kinds of wrenches. [Yes, he’s definitely a big help.] It was my job to hand them to him. [In case the reason he knows them wasn’t obvious.] Where did you learn about boat engines?

[ Damn, Malcolm's cute when he's impressed. Will grins, even if he looks a little shy about it. It wasn't exactly the impressive skill to have when he was learning it. ]

I lived on a houseboat growing up- multiple, actually. If there's one thing houseboats love doing, it's breaking down. Dad was often busy with work, so I learned how to fix it myself. We moved a lot- usually my fault- so it felt like the least I could do. And I found messing with the parts relaxing.

As I got older, it became a good way to make some extra money. Plus, it's a quiet job. No one wants to hang around a boat that's not going anywhere.

[Oh no; the reason is sad. His brow creases slightly, then he kisses Will impulsively.]

We’re going to have a lot more fun than that.

[He’s still holding on to Will’s collar, where he grabbed it for purchases when he leaned up to kiss him.]

Plus we’ll want to move around a lot.
