[ It's too bad they can't talk and it'll take too much time to type you're the strange one to me. They shake their head. ]
The bed might break if I sleep there
[ These weird peasant beds were not built to support 600 pound crystal people-- they'd found that out the hard way with the bed in their own home. And to pull his mattress out and put it on the floor seems a bit much just to accommodate them for one night. Combined with the fact that the last time they'd stayed out too late they'd gotten dragged off into the woods, and that they'd already warned him before coming here they'd crash if it took too long, they don't necessarily feel like they're intruding, but... that doesn't mean they want to make more of a hassle than necessary. ]
I can take cushions out of the couch and put them back Unless you think the other person who lives here will freak out if they see me
[ They shrug. They're fine sleeping without one but if it floats his boat... they pluck the crystal from the bed, typing with one hand before they move to stand. ]
Thanks For letting me use this
[ Did they add the "for letting me use this" belatedly to avoid him thinking the thanks was for anything else? We'll never know (the answer is yes). Anyway, they don't waste time getting out of his proximity, feeling exhausted both from the time of night and from the emotional consequences of digging up their past. It's making them feel more and more like they need to retreat to the comfort of isolation, so they walk out of his room wordlessly after plucking the other two gems from the crate. They don't need him to tell them how to move cushions, after all. ]
[ not so fast, gem-kun. Lupin's not about to let them leave just like that - especially not after actually opening up to him a little bit. Before they can flee the room, he pulls a sheet off his bed in one smooth motion, even with the laptop on it (that's some Lupin magic for you, Cairngorm), and, gently, he sets it on their shoulders. They always feel so cold, after all. ]
There. And thank you for helping me out. [ and not laughing at him too much while he looks like a fool!! He gives them a playful smile, patting their shoulder once before stepping back. ] Sweet dreams. Try not to break the couch.

but oh, right, they weigh [redacted] kilos. Lupin nods. ]
I don't think he'll care. At least let me give you a blanket, though.
