I'm looking for a decent home in Attleton.

[OH IT'S KITTY AGAIN.

A kitty who actually has all his nice clothes on, neat as a pin, and is an actual adult today. And no one better mention any of that shit that happened prior to this moment, because while Mordecai is never in the mood for a good joke, he's even less enthused about what happened this Easter. Merrymakers take their lives in their hands here.]

After much thought and consideration, I've accepted a position as the professor of accounting at Attleton University. I start immediately.

And I expect not to hear any complaints about it.

That being said, I shall be requiring a home closer to my place of work, I have no intention of taking public transit there.

I don't want to die at the age of thirty from whatever incurable diseases the teaming populace is gestating in their lungs right now.

Thank you.

[The incredulous comment wins a humored chuckle but then Athos goes quiet once he realizes Mordecai misunderstood his joke. Maybe he should just leave the wit and humor to Aramis. The other Musketeer always did fair better.]

Of course not but I couldn't help but tease.

[Athos, if Mordecai was Texas, any joke ever would be the red spot on Jupiter, that's how over his head they fly.

Of course, he's picked up that he's missed something, it takes a hot minute for him to pick up that this was, of course, not a literal statement.

Good going, dweeb]

Well no of course not. I-

[MISSED THE JOKE, r/WOOSH]

Am very distracted at the moment with highly pressing matters concerning a new domicile.

The last one

[Has bullet holes in it]

Is unfit for habitation.

[The Musketeer can't help but shake his head some at poor Mordecai. It seems his furry friend is wound even tighter than he is. That's quite a feat. Athos is used to being the rigid and stoic one. Although, the man never been entirely humorless.]

Did something happen? [He asks bluntly.] You sound a tad...shaken.

[life?]

I'm fine. I'm just very, very busy with a great deal of very complicated things.

[Mordecainese for 'I'm full of bullshit and deeply embarrassed about missing the joke and looking dumb']

[Mordecainese might become Athos's new field of study. He actually "understood" all that. Shocking, no?]

Understandable. [A pause.] May I suggest that you celebrate your new employment with wine?

You deserve a drink.

Re: video

I don't drink.

[Hear that slightly frustrated sigh, Mordecai? That is simply Athos trying his best to remain patient. Patience is a virtue that Athos knows quite well but sometimes even he gets a little agitated.

He gives the fussy gentleman another glance before deciding not to pursue down this avenue. If Mordecai doesn't wish to drink, then so be it. However, he has another option. One that might be more pleasant to Mordecai's delicate sensibilities.]

Not even elderflowers and rose lemonade, monsieur?
