[Most of the rooms Yuri opens are empty, unfurnished or only with a simple bed, put together like it was never once slept in. The library isn't packed, it's more of a study with a cozy looking reading nook in a window seat. There's Victor's upstairs master room, which is furnished and slightly messy, and beside that is the studio. If the house was designed a bit better, the studio would be downstairs, to avoid making thump noises across the floor above. Victor finished up the stew, sets it to slow cook, and can hear the shuffle of feet in the studio.

He gives Yuri a couple hours, but by the third he's overcome. Either restlessness or loneliness or a combination there-of, but he'll go up and open the door to see what Yuri is up to. He brings a couple of water bottles up as an excuse]
