( Loki is there, actually, long stride having carried him there quickly. He has a set of keys in his hand and he opens his palm to show them to Eponine. )
These are yours, as is this studio. It's quite small, I confess, but it belongs to you. Even if you're no longer with me, I'll hold it in trust so you can keep it.
[Eponine looks from Loki to the door to the keys and back to Loki.]
Mine? Just like that? [She shakes her head, and stills her hand already reaching for the keys. Her expression is one of longing, but she shakes her head.]
What do you want for it? A promise to be good? A look on my cunt each morning? More? Because - because no. No, I shan't. You'll only get cross when I get it wrong or break my word or what so. And then you'll take it away and say you don't want me no more and I'll have to pack again and - and - and - no. I'd rather not have it than take it away. Qi'ra did that. She let me go. She didn't want me. And Gokudera. I don't want that.
No. I don't want anything for it. I just want you to have somewhere nice to live. That's all. I think you deserve it for simply being you, Eponine, and there are no strings attached to that.
I have to be honest and tell you that I do not want you in my bed. Our relationship is not like that. If you need help there because of the city, I am happy to do it, but I am doing this because I care for you just because of who you are. It's yours. No requirements.
( Loki laughs softly. )
I would not like to end up in jail because of your sedition but I won't take your home away for it if it happens.
[Eponine screws up her nose and laughs. She's clearly thinking about wrinkly dicks round about now.] Me, I have fucked old men for money, and I'll do it again if I have to, but not you. And you won't go to prison. I might - but not you. I am trying hard to be good though.
[She looks again at the keys in Loki's hand before she snatches them quickly.]
I know you are giving me this to keep me out of your way but I don't care. I've always wanted a house all to me.
[She grins excitedly at Loki before fumbling the lock open. Pushing the door open, she goes in. She's expecting a mattress on the floor, maybe a couple of mismatched chairs. Maybe an oven, a toilet, a shower. Not this. She stands, taking it all in, before gently reaching for the table and running her hand over it's top.]
This - this is real, no? This is really here, like this? For me?
I didn't conjure it, I bought it. It's all real and here for you. If you don't like it, we can take it back and exchange it for something else. I confess, I don't know how to buy for a young woman, so I bought neutral things.
( He'd hoped they were passable, anyway, and it seems they are. )
[Eponine finds she's shaking, trembling profusely with excitement. She turns to Loki and pulls him into a hug.]
You are so kind. Thank you, Papa. Thank you, mon chere, for doing it for me. I'm that glad.
[She trips over her words, unable to concentrate on her grammar and slipping back into her old, jumbly habits.]
I never thought I'd own something so nice. And you know how I shall do? I'm going to get window boxes, if you don't mind, and I shall grow flowers and flowers here. How is that?

( Loki laughs at it though and he's glad she takes the keys from him. Whatever her reasons, she has a home now, and he intends for her to keep it. )
It was more to give you something permanent but you can think what you like.

[She laughs too for a moment, but her expression becomes serious.]
How much did you pay? I want to pay for it. Pay you for it, or pay rent if I can't afford it. Please. So it's really like it's all mine.
no subject
You needn't pay, it's a gift, but if you want to...I could set up payments for you. Give me a few days to draw it up, yes?

[She'd been about to push the keys back into his hands, but she stops when she gets her way.]
Can we go inside? Do I need furniture? I don't even care if I have to sleep on the floor truly.

( Loki is honestly glad that she likes it because he thinks Eponine should be allowed to have things she can call her own. )
