( Don't worry, Lance. It seems claustrophobic and sketchy right now, but it won't by the time he's finished.

He wipes dirt off on his jeans before he takes the cup, huffing out a tiny laugh. )

It looks like a hole in the ground.

( A mild correction there before he answers. Don't you dare associate him with this level of quality, okay, this is early stages. )

Phase one is just three. Main area and two bedrooms, because I'm pretty sure we're all on the same page about the sleep situation.

( Meaning: the lack of it, and the fact they -- or at least Ian -- would be willing to sleep on a cot in a hole if it meant getting away from people sooner rather than later.

(Also... a little implication there with the bedroom count that he might be slightly downplaying.)

A little bit of blue glow adds to the lighting, and a mound of dirt rearranges itself to make a nice flat bench to perch on, with enough room for Lance if he wants to get dirt on his ass. )

Phase two will be non-plumbing add-ons. Electricity, workshop or office rooms, quality of life. Phase three is figuring out private showering. Kitchen. Bathroom.

( How many phases are there? TBD. )
