Timeline: During the time Edo & Ryou are researching Haou and such. This was sparked by an ask on my tumblr concerning bed sharing, so that will happen. No sex, however. But give me time and the bed will be shared.
Summary: Living of any kind requires effort, cleanliness, and food. Living in Dark World isn't any exception at all.
Edo knew how to bargain. It took an attempt or two before he caught on to how things worked in this world, but once he did, everything became that much easier. Ryou watched in silence, far preferring to observe Edo's sharp dealings with the card merchants to doing it himself. It was a pleasing sight, after all, especially when Edo casually offered to display his dueling skills on the merchant if said merchant failed to provide them with a fair offer.
They got the fair offer. A very fair one, indeed, which gave them quite a bit of the local currency, which would cover a load of supplies, from food to random items necessary to set up proper housekeeping – including the taurpalin to clean out their so-called bedroom – and warm blankets which would suffice until they could get a suitable bed in there.
They wouldn't stay in that mansion forever, but they would need certain things while they were there. Gathering information to locate their – allies? - didn't mean they didn't have to eat or sleep or have shelter from the elements.
Should we get two beds? The room could be big enough, if the beds were the right size.
And yet the memory of Edo as a warm curl of activity, close enough to touch, wasn't one that he chose to give up lightly. Defense and safety came to mind as well, important options to consider.
One bed would be more than enough. He didn't think Edo would disagree.

Notes: Sure, Ryou. That's all there is to it. Yup.
