It'll be nice, having company.

[That's a rare, honest admission, and she moves along quickly lest it be noticed.]

It could be worse-- I spent my first week on House's couch, you know.

[Angela laughs, noting the admission but not commenting on it.]

You poor thing. Did he wake you up by poking you with his cane?

[as_damaged]

It wasn't so bad, but I was glad to get some space of my own.

[thenormalsquint]

Don't you get lonely, though? Or annoyed at the ticking when it was around?

[Angela guesses the cat helps and maybe working so much, but still. She has to ask.]

[as_damaged]

I don't spend a lot of time at home.

[And that's what the cat's for. So, yes. She does get lonely. She's just not the sort to admit to it.]

It isn't so bad, and after a while-- well, I'm used to living by myself.

[It's a lie that's believable; one that Angela doesn't find any fault in.
]

I guess you don't. [She chuckles at the being used to living by oneself.] I was too at one point.

[as_damaged]

I think I can make an exception, though.

[For a while anyway.]

[thenormalsquint]

I promise I won't have any raging parties. At least when you're home.

[No, she won't ever, but she can't promise not to drag Cameron to one or five.]

[as_damaged]

[The massive eye-roll is mostly for effect. Mostly. She's not cleaning anything up.]

I'll dig up a set of keys for you.

[She's not gonna say she missed you, Ange, but she's not not glad.]

[thenormalsquint]

[Come on, say it, Cameron. You know you wanna. It won't hurt. Much.]

Fantastic. [She's been standing in one place too long, so Angela instantly wanders off to the side, poking and prodding at whatever knickknacks Cameron has around the place.] Do I have to worry about a sock on the door?

[Translation: are you boning someone, if so, who, and can I get the juicy details so I can get a vicarious thrill from somewhere?

action »

[as_damaged]

Not an issue.

[For longer than she wants to think about, and definitely longer than she's going to talk about. Life in the City isn't really compatible with Cameron's romantic habits. And-or lack thereof.]

Like I said, just me and the cat around here.

action »

[thenormalsquint]

Not an issue because you don't bring them home or...?

[Right. Like Angela was going to leave well enough alone.]

action »

[as_damaged]

Not an issue because it's not an issue.

action »

[thenormalsquint]

[Angela shakes her head, because there goes pumping Cameron for deets on her love life.]

So the market is still bleak here.

[as_damaged]

[It's not her fault she's picky, standoffish, and inclined to emotional unavailability.

Is it?

Maybe.]

You'll have to judge that for yourself.

action »

[thenormalsquint]

Still terrible at gossip, I see.

[She laughs and points a hand in the direction of the hallway that leads to Cameron's bedroom.]

Let's go dig through your closet before I start squeezing your cat for deets.

[as_damaged]

Probably for the best,

[she agrees, a bit relieved, and heads toward the bedroom.]
