I do. I have a few spare rooms that are used for stock that I do not have on display. It would be easy to move things around and create an office for you, if that's what you wish.

I would trust you to help me move things around, some of them are heavy. And delicate.
[ colored him shocked! he half expected his brother to say something along the lines of blue is better and for the conversation to devolve into a stupid argument about what color is better. he grins, biting into another piece of pizza, stretching out his leg to nudge his own foot against vergil's leg. ]
Of course, as much as I'd love to sit back and watch you do all the work, I'll help out.
I am capable of compliments. Should I have offered an argument instead? Told you that red makes you look puffy?
[ He's going to fold his hands over below his chin, now, tilting his head to the side to give him a very plain, pointed look. don't make him pull that rug, he'll do it out of spite.
he doesn't complain about the nudging, either--simply shifting to push at him, subtly. ]
