Yeah. [He glances briefly down at Coda with fondness, before turning that onto Artemis; and the fondness doesn't fully dry up, just buried behind amusement.] They're a surprisingly good cuddler, who knew.
[ There's something surprising in that look, but Artemis isn't going to overthink it. He grins back. ] Starting to think a hug longer than three seconds is all it takes to get them to actually go the fuck to sleep. Might need more than two trials on that one, though.
Well, keep bringing them here and we can test that theory some more. Text each other results and shit, it's not proper science without proper note-taking.
[ Artemis looks down, because looking at someone who is too asleep to witness vulnerability is a lot easier than looking at Gil, who might very well give him shit about it. ]
Maybe we could, uh. Skip a step? I was thinking...
[Well that's one way to get Gil's curiosity, and both ears perk towards Artemis. There might be a light tease in his voice, but he's curious more than anything else.]
Like what, letting them move in with us permanently?
A lot of guys would kill to be this up close and personal with me all the time, but I'm thinking you're probably pretty sick of sharing a bedroom. [ That's good, couch it in a joke, that'll work fine. ] We could find a bigger place, take them with us? Maybe?

Not sure I'll be able to, but who knows. This turned out pretty cozy, considering.

[So yes, he'll give Artie a little shit. But he's glancing away as well now, ears pricking down - not upset, just thinking.]
But, like... yeah, actually. I'm not opposed to that.
