Autumn chuckles. "Well, it's part horse."

"But part bird also. I think I can associate better with something that flies," Chaosti says with a grin.

"Damn good thing I can sort of fly, then," Autumn smiles. She takes his hand. "So, what do you want to do tonight?"

Chaosti smiles at her, then says with a shrug, "I don't know.. You wanted to explore Vegas, right?"

"Well, of course," she says. "Who doesn't? We just have to be back in a couple hours to check on Derek so Janelle doesn't worry too much."

Chaosti nods and says, "Of course. Any idea of where you want to go first?"

Autumn thinks, trying to remember what her parents had said when she was little that they told her never to go near. "Let's go to a casino. Caesar's Palace sound good?" She gives and inward chuckle as she remembers one particular rant her mother had given about the quality. Even though it was a 5 star... Her mother had impeccable taste, which Autumn tried to go against whenever possible. She looks up at Chaosti and smiles. A perfect choice for going against her mother. She's never actually thought about it like that before.

Chaosti grins and says, "Sounds good. We can just drop our stuff in the room, then we'll be off."

Autumn nods. As the elevator opens, she drags Chaosti out, hurrying to find their room.

Chaosti laughs and hurries along with her, taking the cardkey [fwah, i remembered!] out of his wallet, which he kept in his back pocket, and opening the door, which he held open for her, as per typical Chaosti fashion.

Autumn holds back a giggle as she walks into the room, thanking him. She goes to set her bag down, but looks around the room. "Maybe I don't want to leave the room at all... This is better than any room I've ever lived in."

Chaosti looks around, setting his bag down on the counter of the kitchenette, and says, "Yeah, it's not half bad.."

"Not half bad?" Autumn says, dropping her jaw and her bag simultaneously. "This thing is more furnished than my parent's entire house was!"

Chaosti chuckles at her reaction and says, "It's definitely a good middle ground. Far better than cramming all the things you can into every room just because you can." He gets a somewhat disgusted expression on his face at this last, memories of his home - well, his parents' house, as it never really felt like home to him - floating to the surface. He'd always been revolted by how his mother would splurge money needlessly on obsenely overpriced and unnecessary things, for the sole purpose of showing off the family's wealth.

"But it's not completely empty, either," Autumn says. She sighs as she looks around again, remembering how she was only allowed to have two toys at a time when she was little. She sits on the edge of the bed and looks out the window. "I could definitely get used to this. But I probably shouldn't..."

"Just enjoy it while you can," Chaosti says with a smile. "And maybe we can delay our return back to ADSGMP for a bit.. Once we make sure the others are alright, that is."

Autumn smiles weakly. "I'll try. For you. Not for myself."

Raising his eyebrows slightly Chaosti asks in confusion, "Why not for yourself?"

"I'm not doing any of this for myself. Most of it is just doing all the things my parents told me not to when I was little," she says, pulling her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them, not able to look at Chaosti. "I barely even know what I want for myself anymore," she says quietly.
