It has been one very full whirlwind day, but after Law has had time to find himself some clothing and get settled in, and after Rosinante has trekked out to the old sculpture garden of all the goddamned places to retrieve his cigarettes, it's finally time to sit back, do some reading, maybe think about sleep just to stay on some semblance of a schedule even though the excitement of having Law back with him again makes him want to just stay up and share stories.
Besides, there's still some obnoxious part of his mind that fears if he closes his eyes, Law won't be there when he wakes up. But. It's nonsense and he knows it.
"You know," he says as he snuffs out a cigarette and looks up from his tablet, "You're welcome to stay here, if you want. We can rearrange the room. Go drag in a bed from one of the vacant ones." He shrugs like it's just no big deal, just an offer, because he still figures Law might want his own room anyway.
He'd love for Law to stay with them, of course. But if he's going to do so, then there's one more thing he'll find out about soon enough. It's for the best, anyway - Law deserves the warning.
