Warehouse

Though not a home by any stretch of the imagination, Tyson feels more at home in his two-storey warehouse than he does at the Delaney family manor.

For the most part, it’s storage for old projects, pieces of his motorbikes, and various works in progress, but Tyson has carved out a little area on the first floor for comfort whilst working on his own, or with the Moriarty Mirrors.

It’s not much - a queen sized bed, two three-seater settees, five dog beds scattered throughout both floors, a coffee table, and two wooden chairs that were in the warehouse when Tyson bought it - but it’s enough to feel as though the space is his own.

On the ground floor, he’s managed to get a working bathroom with a shower installed, and substituted the idea of a kitchen with a kettle, microwave, and mini-fridge filled with drinks on a table.

More than the bare-bones furnishing, though they are appreciated after a long day of tinkering and getting covered in grease, the warehouse feels more homely because it’s filled with things that Tyson made or helped make, or helped destroy depending on the items in question.

The Family Manor

Even in the verses where Tyson lives in the Delaney manor, he doesn’t consider it to be his home. It’s the family home, it’s Jasmine’s home, but it’s not Tyson’s home. Not anymore.

He views the manor as a middle place, with the same ‘communal second living room’ place that a pub exists in. Tyson only tends to visit when meeting with Jethro’s part of the family or when he’s come to Cambridge to guest lecture, so he assumes that he’ll be meeting someone whilst there; even if it’s only Jasmine and Jack.

When staying the manor, Tyson will alternate between sleeping in his childhood bedroom and sleeping in one of the spare bedrooms. There are times when Tyson finds it comforting to be back in that room, and times when he needs to be in a completely separate wing of the manor from it.

No matter how affected by the memories of it, Tyson will always end up in the library at some point, and he may never stop viewing it as his father’s library. Sometimes he’ll be returning books or taking new ones away, and sometimes he just needs to feel grounded in the room he spent most of his childhood in.
