It's odd, isn't it, how having a personal claim to a place can make it something more than just a building or room?

[Lust's tone and expression are thoughtful, rather than puzzled.]

I've stayed and lived in dozens and dozens of places, but they never meant anything. They were just that - places to stay, a point to return to. Even the pleasant or almost-permanent ones weren't particularly noteworthy and made little impression on me.

Why does choosing and laying claim to a place as yours suddenly make all the difference? It's such a strange quirk of emotions. Is it normal, to form some sort of emotional attachment to a place just because you've decided it's going to be your 'home'?

Means you put in the work t'make it yours. It's a feelin' of pride.

To be fair, the only work I exerted was to exchange family money for it.

But in a more metaphorical sense...yes, you're right.

There's still upkeep; chores t'be done. Even if it wasn't your money t'buy it, you'll still be "earnin'" it.

[Lust reflects on the fact that she's already teaching some of her Pokemon how to do basic household chores, but that counts as work, right? But thinking on it, she realizes she does occupy herself during the day with simple household things.]

I suppose you have a point. I don't really think of those things as any sort of work, but I imagine they'll feel like it in time.

Once the novelty wears off.

Just 'cause it's work doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Keeps my head clear.

Does it? I have known those who enjoy work, even the labor sort.
