Oy. Well, it's nice to know just how much she listens to my advice...
[He chomps on a fry irritably.]
She's actually moved in with me as of a week ago. She's welcome to stay as long as she likes -- if it becomes permanent we'll find a bigger apartment outside the MAC, no problem. I've also gotten an account set up for her paid from my own funds, so she has a nest egg if I get ported out. Though I haven't told her that, yet. Given the ... particular situation, I'm trying not to push. She's not used to -- well, to people looking out for her.
[He shrugs a little, polishes off the last of his slaw.]
I'm sure you've figured that out, too. With us it's -- well, there's another layer. So I've been trying to balance looking out for her well-being and giving her the space to set her own boundaries --
[He makes an exasperated noise.]
Obviously, I could be doing a better job of that.
[Just then, the waitress arrives to clear their dishes, and after a bit of banter Spidey orders himself another coffee and a slice of cheesecake.]
