Or you get chased by the yeti - semantics. [There's some lightness in her tone. She hasn't resigned to letting him get off that easily, but that's between her and herself for now. (Some navel-gazing would be good. Such as: what does it matter to her that she wants to go be a hermit?) (She knows why.)
And then sarcasm.] Since when do you have a doormat?
[ he's about to ask her what yeti, but thinks if it's not a figure of speech, he'll find out when he flicks through what he has on the city of eudio and all its forestry, mountains, and odd places. he wouldn't put it past this place having a yeti. ]
[ he gets why she's laughing. buying a doormat just to hide a key for her sounds ridiculous to him. still, though, he doesn't join in with her laughter. taking this a little too seriously, bellamy just frowns. ]
What if you lose it? You've got a lot of silver crap at your place.
[ it'd be smarter to just drop it in her mailbox and hope she doesn't get a lot of mail delivered that day so it doesn't get lost, but bellamy saw it in a film, and in a television show, and he's so close to buying a pot plant to shove it under because that seems to be the way this goes. trying to be normal and fit in isn't working for him. ]
[ on second thought: ] You own a lot of crap. And a dragon who eats crap.
First thing I'd look for a key if I were a thief would be under the shiny new doormat. [She sighs, because her life is suffering.]
I'll promise not to lose your key. Or, if you're so fucking adamant on going, just bring the dogs over? I can keep them and Chion upstairs and Gruff won't eat them.
They're going to wreck your shit. [ chion, especially, given how easily distracted the snowgie is. it sounds like an excuse, and to an extent, it is one, but he does know pulling young animals from one place to another may not be so good. reading things makes him feel more in tune with this world, but also makes him come off as though he's indecisive. ]
[ he sighs, aggravated with himself. despite how this entire situation is demonstrating how difficult it is for him to run, he's still insistent he go. ] I don't want to inconvenience you anymore, Raven. I'll give you a key and leave one somewhere outside my place.
[They probably would, indeed. But they probably might also end up there, because two dogs alone at home? That's not fair, and he knows it. She doesn't say, just sighs again.]
[ he's well aware he's making it a little too complicated, but it seems to be the only way he can weave the thread in his hands. he doesn't want the dogs to come, but he doesn't want them to be alone, and yet, wishes to inconvenience raven with them while also not wishing to bother her more. if he's to try and untangle it, he can see what he's trying to do, and that's the very reason why he doesn't want to look at his intentions here. he doesn't know what they are. ]
Thanks. [ it bears repeating again, even though he says it mostly to fill the awkward space. ] I should probably go — get that key cut. I'll drop it off later. [ in her mailbox, just like she said, even though he'd been creating a knot around that, too. ]

But for a couple of days, she can hold the fort.]
Okay, Bellamy. Pack smart.
