Summary
Rhodin sipped his coffee. “Are us roommates cramping your style?”
“No,” Conju demurred, in a way which clearly meant yes. “I value you all deeply and am satisfied with a . . . laissez-faire . . . living situation in our retirement.”
Ludvic stirred his coffee. Rhodin peeled a banana in a desultory way. They waited.
Conju sighed. “It’s just–“ Ludvic and Rhodin leaned forward as Conju continued, “– why does he have to be underfoot all the time? Overnight?! I came down for a drink last week and nearly broke my neck tripping over a middle-aged aristocrat. It’s undignified.”

Conju seethed, throwing up his hands and pacing. “ I need privacy. I don’t care that you aren’t having sex. I used to care very much whether you two were fucking, but that has been subsumed by my need to not trip over elderly bureaucrats at all hours of the day and night. You don’t want to have sex? Fine. I will make it harder for you to have sex. I’ll put slippery sheets on your bed. I’ll tie bells to your bedposts. I’ll even take the lubricant cache out of your room.”
“There isn’t any lubricant cache in my room.”
“Of course there is, what kind of friend do you think I am? I’ll hire a wizened chaperone to protect your virtue. Just, get off my designer carpets. I want to have friends over, and I’m too old for this. You’re driving me up the wall.”

Clear communication about roommate boundaries (with the ex-depressed, ex-most powerful person in the world(s), and his completely oblivious partner, both of whom you all care about deeply), so overrated. Heh.
