[ She was tortured for months, she doesn't say. She got captured saving my life. ]
Just put up with her prickliness and keep her company sometimes. You're a natural at that already.
Thank you, Charles. We can get our own place if you want to kick us out, too. It sounds ridiculous, but it just didn't occur to me before. The only semi-permanent home I've had in years was an abandoned subway station in Chinatown. My life is wacky that way.
hey, i'm never gonna kick you guys out, yeah? never. you can stay as long as you like. don't know how permanent anything we have here is, but... if it can be your home for now, then, well. i'd be real happy about that.
She's really amazing. She has a personality disorder, which means she doesn't feel things like the rest of us. But I know you won't judge her for that.
Nothing is permanent. That doesn't mean it doesn't matter. It matters to me a lot.
[ that is quite genuine — he doesn't get why he should. edwin's hardly the paragon of friendliness with others, after all, and crystal's made some real bad decisions in the past... and he doesn't judge either of them. why would he judge shaw? ]
well, permanent or not... if i can help you guys have a home, that matters to me, too. so stay as long as you like.
