Reia nodded, understanding Haisley's stated reasons. She could only look at Haisley with a compassionate smile.
"Do you want a flat to rent alone, or are you open to sharing?" she asked again.
"Just a personal one if there's any. I'm not used to living with strangers," Haisley replied honestly. "And if possible, something affordable," she added with a shy smile.
Reia nodded her head slowly. "Alright, I'll ask the others. If there's any information, I'll let you know," she promised. Haisley murmured her thanks. "But H, does Gilbert know about your plan?" she asked again.
Not out of curiosity, but to avoid problems with Gilbert if Haisley did all of this without his knowledge and Reia helped her. If that happened, Gilbert would be angry with Reia. And Reia didn't want that. Haisley only nodded weakly, which Reia interpreted as a 'yes.' She felt more at ease now. Reia stood up and prepared to leave.
"Alright, I'll update you later," she said, patting Haisley's arm before saying goodbye.
