Only if I am an objectionable houseguest. It would simply be easier for me to stay in Nonah the night before if I'm to be getting ready for the Gala with Aerith.
I'd ask the rest of those who stay with you personally, but I'm afraid I don't know them.
well i have no objections to raise and i doubt any of the others are likely to unless you intend to stable your steed with us as well though i would recommend locking doors when you need to some of our flatmates are a bit odd

i guess that would be the only way to deal with him i had a misconception of what your relationship was before but it sounds like hes more a comrade than a pet
