[Okay so he's definitely called Laurent on lying through his teeth by now but that doesn't mean he's going to stop giving the guy shit for it. Not when he's constantly stopping in for food or to check in or whatever other reason he decides on any given day. Gladio's working outside most of the time but the space between their houses is small enough that he ends up chattering at Laurent often enough. Or chattering in general. Building plans, food plans, offers to make them a bed if they want?
So he feels pretty comfortable with Laurent, scheming jerk sure but no worse than Iggy when he was really on his game. He just wasn't used to being on the receiving end of that kind of thing anymore. So when he sees Laurent duck into the house to bother Ignis (who's not even home if he remembers right) he sets his tools aside and follows along, still aching slightly from the battle with Bliss but mostly healed up.]
Hey, got plans for a stove soon. [He's talking before he's even made it inside, stepping in and casually throwing an arm over Laurent's shoulders, leaning in with the kind of grin that means he's going to ask for something.]
