Inconvenient, is what it is.

And truthfully, the invitation is… odd.

The invitation to stay in her home had been one thing: a matter of practicality for him, considering he had no place to return to. A matter of— politeness, he supposes, for her. Gratitude. Indebtedness.
(His mind drifts to yesterday’s argument, and he inwardly cringes.)
But this is… new. Not at all what he’s used to. Offers to share a bed are a dime a dozen, admittedly, but that had been strictly sexual. This is intimate, and he’s not rightly sure what the endgame might be.

My teeth and I would appreciate it if we kept the hittin’ to special occasions, thanks.
