[Privately relieved, as in his current state - bedridden with a splitting headache and hot chills - he would have likely had to send a clone in his place. Still his reply is delayed, mind turning; this must have cost Stiles a great deal of credits. Plausible, as they both have plenty. He has considered transferring the majority of his own to Sasuke.]
It is... large. [Permanent. That shouldn't be shocking, as Stiles made his intentions clear on settling in for the long haul. The disparity between them is only now made more concrete by proof.] Sophia will surely appreciate the additional space. Have you already moved your belongings in?
[ And then, a little self-conscious about it, he adds: ]
I mean, once Sophia's better trained and you're more comfortable with her, you'll be spending the most time out of anyone here, right? Plus, it's just a fun thing to do. You know, as a couple.
[ A couple. Stiles doesn't know why it's so hard to write that simple word. Somehow, it feels like it doesn't fit them at all. ]
No, although that is not a bad idea. [His hair is getting a little long... Normally, he would have Kisame trim it for him.] I am taking Russell to an animal medic.
[Lying is harder when you can't evade the topic and genjutsu yourself away into the forest.]
[He was hopeful Stiles would send him pictures of decorations, even if his own opinion wouldn't hold a lot of weight... but maybe he still will, later.
Although after lying, Itachi's fairly certain he would not deserve even that much. And it will only get worse from here.]

I don't understand. Do you want me to go to this location?
no subject
[ Now he's curious. ]

You'll need to eventually. It's my new address.
[ And a photo is attached. ]

Sophia's the reason why I looked for a bigger space to begin with. She's growing so fast.
In process of moving stuff now. Not too much to bring over, though. I'll need to pick up stuff to decorate with. Wanna come with?
no subject
[You have seen his place, haven’t you? In all three dimensions?]
When?

Anyway, how about in an hour or two?
no subject
I’m sorry. I have an appointment this afternoon.
[That, at least, isn’t a lie. He had arranged it with the local clinic for more medication after waking up to a fever.]
If you want to send messages or images I can provide input.
no subject
Let's do that then. This way, you can mock my tastes 😉
What's the appointment for? Getting your hair done or something?
no subject
No, although that is not a bad idea. [His hair is getting a little long... Normally, he would have Kisame trim it for him.] I am taking Russell to an animal medic.
[Lying is harder when you can't evade the topic and genjutsu yourself away into the forest.]

[ More importantly though... ]
Is she okay? What happened?
And I think the word you're looking for is "veterinarian."
no subject
She ate an entire wooden chopstick.
[Not a lie: Itachi watched this occur. What he is flexing the truth on, however, is that he also watched her puke it up about an hour later.]
Veterinarian. Yes, thank you.
no subject
Let me know how things go with her.
no subject
I will.
Will you be living with anyone else?
no subject
No.
I mean, who would I live with lol
[ Just you, he thinks, glumly. ]
There's plenty of room for roommates though. In case anyone
idk
wanted to move in.
[ Hint hint. ]
Until then, it's just me and Sophia.
no subject
I see. I thought perhaps you might have made other friends.
[It's not meant to be an insult. He just remembers how Stiles and Jonas used to be, pulling even Sasuke into their orbit.]
Let me know if you find any decorations worthy of consideration, then.
no subject
[ This has gotten depressing fast. Increasingly bummed out, Stiles decides to let Itachi get on with his day. ]
Talk to you later, Itachi.
no subject

All right. Goodbye.
