Open: And they're gonna bend their branches down to lay their fruit upon the ground

[vineleaves]

Dionysus is in a kitchen, apron tied over a purple dress with vine details, singing to himself as he uses a melon baller to scoop out a watermelon. The large bowl next to him is already full of honeydew melon and cantaloupe, and he's got a few other ingredients nearby ready to add in once he's done with the watermelon. Mint leaves, some honey, some lemon juice, and some lime juice.

It has been quite an eventful time lately, but overall his life is pretty great right now.

"Oh, perfect, we can leave out informational pamphlets for everyone coming to our room," he says, smothering a laugh.

[futaille]

His grin widens considerably. "We can."

[vineleaves]

"We didn't even consider the possibility of that before!" He walks over to the door on the left and opens it. "Ah, okay, so this one's your -- uh, your extra room? What should we call it? Art studio?"

[futaille]

"Studio works as well as anything, I suppose."

[vineleaves]

"Perfect! Okay, so that's the studio, which means thiiiiiiis one-" he opens the door on the other wall, "is the bedroom!"

[futaille]

He grins. "Welcome home."

[vineleaves]

Dionysus laughs, so full of joy he can't help it, as he wraps his arms around the back of Grantaire's neck and draws him in to a big kiss.

[futaille]

He kisses back, quite content to let it linger.

Dionysus does draw it out for a long time, but finally a Thought does manage to wiggle its way into his mind, and when they finally separate he points out, "Y'know, we'll have to tell people which door is ours now, otherwise nobody'll be able to find us if they need something or want to come visit." He wonders if they should send out little cards. Claudius in particular would probably appreciate that.

[futaille]

"We could hang a sign on the door."

[vineleaves]

"Oh, that's -- why don't more people put signs on their doors around here? You're very smart. What sort of sign d'you think we should have? I could make one out of vines and then make it metal if we wanted sort of a wrought iron look. Or we could find a board and you can paint something?"

[futaille]

"I like the metal idea, thinking on it."

[vineleaves]

"Okay let's -- let's go make it!" he says, grabbing Grantaire's hand and practically dragging him to the table to sit down. "So -- should it say Étienne and Di-- oh, wait, you probably want it to say say your surname, huh--"

[futaille]

"More people know me as Grantaire, so it would make sense. You can put both on there if you'd like but then my name is so much longer than yours."

[vineleaves]

"Not if we put all of my names too," he says with a smirk.

[futaille]

He grins. "Do it. Or at least as many as you feel like."

[vineleaves]

He laughs. "We'd need a bigger door, I think. Grantaire and Dionysus or Dionysus and Grantaire?"

[futaille]

"Dionysus and Grantaire. Alphabetical."

[vineleaves]

"That works!" He starts making the sign, rectangular with decorative vines across the top and bottom, reading

Διόνυσος
&
Grantaire

Before he makes it metal he asks, "Look okay?"

[futaille]

"It's perfect."

[vineleaves]

He grins and the sign turns metal, making a very solid thunk when he sets it down on the table. “Glad to have that problem so quickly solved!”

[futaille]

"Because we're brilliant, clearly." He grins. "Also, I think we should check to make sure the bedroom still works."

[vineleaves]

Dionysus laughs. "You're right, it might have stopped working in the move, wouldn't that be tragic."

[futaille]

"Can't have that. Best to be sure."

[vineleaves]

"Yes, we must be thorough in our investigation." He pulls Grantaire into another kiss.
