Gidget snickered and watched them as they went. She would have to trust them when they said it was just bruises. Rubbing her face slightly, she tried to get that dumb grin off her face as she stood up and looked around. Make herself at home?
She made her way almost idly towards the kitchen. She knew WR liked coke, and she maybe she could find some plates or something. Lord knew she didn't have any in her own apartment.

WR's cabinets were surprisingly well stocked. There were plates, bowls, cups, and even shot glasses in one, random drink mixes and snack food in another, and the rest were filled with miscellaneous items of all assortments. The refrigerator was much less so. There were two cases of Coke, random condiments (and by the looks of it, no food to accompany them), and expired takeout. If she looked, the freezer was broken.
On the countertop was a stereo with a case of CD's next to it, a nice leather red and black bag, several pictures of WR with people she wouldn't recognize, and scrapped sketches that never made it to the trashcan.

Gidget paused a moment to glance at the sketches after grabbing two Cokes. She tilted her head to one side and smiled softly. She wondered who the people in the pictures were, but she didn't want to snoop too much. Grabbing two plates, she brought those over to the counter and set them down, glancing around at the living room.

The living room had a bit more life to it. Aside from the furniture, there was random memorabilia of WR's high school band, the letters "MS" plastered across various pieces of red and black merchandise. There were also a few photographs to accompany them, featuring a VERY young looking WR, their bandmate, and what could only assumed to be fans. They all looked... really happy.
On another wall hung WR's famous Dragon Apprentice jacket, which was surrounded by other framed objects and papers that read in a language she wouldn't know, or even recognize. Next to them was a framed electric guitar with the name "Andre Wash" inscribed on it.
Otherwise, everything else was stored away in either their desk or in their room.

Gidget wandered up to the pictures of WR, specifically the young one, and smiled softly. She reached up, brushing her fingers along the picture, found herself wondering about what a young WR would be like, what they would do and how they would act.

After a few minutes a fresh WR emerged from the bedroom in black basketball shorts and a white tank top. Aside from their injuries, they looked a lot healthier than they did minutes ago. Their hair was super fluffed up, and still warm from the hairdryer. The aroma of wood and coal followed them around.
"Sorry 'bout that." They grinned, walking over to Gidget and plopping on the floor in front of the couch.

Gidget grinned back and gave a little shrug. "There's nothing to be sorry for."
Glancing back at the wall of things, she pointed to one of the pieces of merchandise, cocking her head. "MS? What does that mean?"

WR gazed the wall of merchandise and smiled briefly.
"Morei Skies, my band. I have a plan to... carry the acronym over to something else. Name wouldn't really work for it, so I'll probably change it." They shrugged.

"Morei Skies? What does it mean?"
She turned back to look at WR, tilting her head to one side in open, genuine curiosity.

"Metaphor for heaven, or afterlife. Means like... life in the skies, or freedom, or something. I dunno, it's dumb. Andre and I came up with it a few years ago, and it was cool then." They scratched their head, clearly somewhat embarrassed by the history of it.
It brought back a lot of good memories, though.

"Why wouldn't that name make any sense? Seems like a good name, to me."
She turned her attention back to the things on the wall, looking closely at the guitar again. Andre Wash... It must have been one of their bandmates. That made sense. She was careful not to touch anything as she continued to idly look through everything.

WR shrugged.
"We'll see. This is one of those... long term projects I was talking about. Dunno where it's gonna go, if it goes at all. But if it does... well, good things will come of it, I'm sure." They nodded enthusiastically, and followed her gaze as she looked around the room.

She nodded, deciding it was probably best to not continue to push the subject even further. She stopped again at the picture of young WR, and smiled softly at it before turning around and walking back over to the counter. She grabbed a slice of pizza for each of them, and tried to balance that and the cokes. She looked like she was struggling a bit, but she made it work as she came over to the couch, holding out a plate for WR. If they took it, she would flop down onto the couch beside them.
"Well, if you ever need help, I'm around. You know my skillset." She put the coke between her legs as she grabbed her slice of pizza and took a big bite. "Until then, though... you owe me a movie."

WR watched her waddle over to the couch, and pulled up onto one of the cushions to sit up next to her. They took the pizza and Coke from her with a smile, setting them in their lap, then dug around the couch for the TV remote. It was there...somewhere.
"Don't owe you anymore," They plucked the remote out of the cushion and held it up triumphantly.
"So... what are we watching?" They tilted their head at her in genuine curiosity. When she said movie, they didn't actually consider the options.

Gidget thought while she chewed her pizza. She wasn't sure what WR's tastes were, but in that moment... it seemed like they should probably both find a feel-good movie. Something that might boost their spirits a little. She chuckled as she finished her bite and turned to them.
"You know what. It might seem dumb. But let's watch Balto."
