From all his siblings, Five might be the one closest to his Father's brand of ruthlessness and that scares him more than anything. Surviving the post Apocalypse and then working for the Time Commission shaped him into someone Five doesn't like very much. He's got a lot to atone for, so he started by trying to make amends with his family.

A soft hum is offered as a reply after that caress and his eyes widen slightly at the new smile on his mother's face. Baby steps, people always say, but these kinds of things feel like grand gestures to him. If Five keeps encouraging the changes and disarray, well...he's always been the rebellious one, after all. He knows Diego will support mom in this too.

"You're right." Has he ever said those words before? Has anyone ever reassured her that her opinion also mattered, Five wonder? They really never learned to function as a proper, supportive family, but it's never too late to start. Besides, her huffing has been really cute.

"There's no rush. Once breakfast is over, if you aren't busy, we can start with choosing the room. Then we will need what we need to buy."
