[Despite himself, it is infectious. The enthusiasm reminds him of his little brother and one of his troupe-mates. It's impossible to stay worried when he's faced with that much enthusiasm.
[Soren is a pretty big guy, but when he gets excited it all turns into a beaming, childlike hype. His youthful energy is a powerful force!]
You, obviously! [that's actually sweet, Soren]
I don't know who else, tho... I could always ask on the watches. People seem to be able to all talk through those. See who else is new and wants a place to live! If they're, you know, cool and all.
[Cute... He's not going to reach out and pat Soren on the head, but the little brother energy is strong.
Then Soren says that and while Juza doesn't duck his head down to hide the blush or anything, there's clearly a faint one on his cheeks. That means Soren thinks he's cool?]
Thanks... Appreciate it.
Watches seem good. You gonna interview 'em or somethin'?
[hot potato with the brain cell, except Soren never catches it]
Oh. I guess I'll make sure they're cool? Like, I'm not going to go dating someone just to get 'em to move in, [He nudges Juza with an elbow, mockishly teasing]
Guess you get in easy because you rescued me in a dream! My hero!
No and no! That's too much work just to get some people to move in. I want this to be, like, a fraternity house! Not bringing a bunch of lame, lovey-dovey stuff around here! [Bleh, how annoying would that be? Especially if you're stuck being single, when other people are dating! Not That. Soren. Is worried about being the single one. In that hypothetical!
He's just got no experience, too busy knighting. Ahem.]
Cool. [Not that he's against Soren getting a girlfriend or whatever later. But Juza isn't even good at talking to strangers. Dating somebody feels like a giant leap.]
's just good to live with somebody. Feels weird being alone. [... Did he seriously already get used to living with Settsu at home? Gross.]
[Castle... or dorm. It hasn't even been that many days, but he misses Mankai dorms. It always felt like there was somebody around, no matter what time it was.] ... Yeah. [Maybe that sounded a little more wistful than he intended.
He shakes his head when asked about bonds.]
Sounds like everybody needs one of 'em. Haven't really asked around yet.
That's fine, Autumn troupe does not thrive on their brainpower at any given time. There's a moment's hesitation, didn't they say something about sharing feelings?
... On the other, he definitely doesn't want to deal with going feral.]
I'll think up a good one! ["""a good one""" it might be amusing when it pops to mind, whatever it is]
Keys are boring! It's much for fun to come up with a handshake, here- let's start one. Up high first-! [not really a shake to start off, but he's been humored so much already]

A small, indulgent smile surfaces.]
Yeah. Know who you wanna invite yet?

[Soren here thinking the many, many words he doesn't know must be magic.
Little brother energy is correct. Very, very dumb little brother energy.]
no subject
Not magic.
[The good news is Juza's had years of big brother training.]
Interview? Means you to know them before you let them live with you.
no subject

You're not actually gonna go around callin' me that, right?
Were you really thinking about dating people to get them to move in?

[though that reminds him]
The people from the Mirror are supposed to be sticking together, right? With those bond things? Did you have one of those figured out yet?
no subject
He shakes his head when asked about bonds.]
Sounds like everybody needs one of 'em. Haven't really asked around yet.
no subject
We could totally knock that out, too! What d'you say?
no subject

... On the other, he definitely doesn't want to deal with going feral.]
If you're fine with me, let's do it.
no subject
Soren does a fist pump of triumph]
Yeah! Let's! We're killing it at this new world thing.
no subject
Goin' better than I thought it would. Do we need to write something up for that?
no subject
[this should demonstrate how little Soren understands the process]
no subject
[Soren, did you listen to anything? He just wants to know.]
no subject
[Soren is taking this magical ceremony of binding souls together very, highly, incredibly seriously]
It's not like a wedding. [he definitely remembers it could be friendly! Whatever the fancy word for that is.
Platonic, it's platonic, Soren]no subject
[He tilts his head a little.]
It's a way to be linked for as long as the bond lasts.
no subject
Oooh, or! I wonder if we could do a secret handshake, instead! Then we could use it as a greeting. That would be perfect.
no subject
I dunno. Maybe we should work on both of them?
no subject
But I like poems. I just sort of say them, usually. [thoughtless reciting of poetry, by an idiot, that can only go well!]
I bet a handshake will work. It could be like the secret code to get into the house! [as if keys aren't enough]
no subject
Wouldn't mind hearin' them.
[The second thing, however...]
That's what keys are for.
no subject
I'll think up a good one! ["""a good one""" it might be amusing when it pops to mind, whatever it is]

There are still locks.
[Okay, sure, he'll put his hands up for what he's assuming is a high-five.]
