Don't think I should go to the bar. [ He doesn't want to drink. Booze makes him think of Lor, and he really, really doesn't want to think about him when he's trying to sort out what's going on with Kurt. ] Could I, uh, stay with you for a while?

[ Even as he talks, he's walking to get on the lifts. ]

That's fine.

[ Jo's got work, but she can deal with that after she has Bells settled. Wherever- oh. Well then problem solved. ]

Sure. [ and Jo's right there with him, walking back and pressing the button for the lifts. ] You can stay however long you want. I've got work, though, so the room might be empty but yeah.

You can't sleep there. [ Because he feels like he has to point it out. But he also doesn't want to spend so much time being alone. Bells looks down at the floor. ] I mean, I guess you could. But it'd be nice to see you later.

I'm not going to sleep there. [ She laughs a little at that, giving him a look. ] I just have work.

[ There's a shrug at that, still staring at the ground like it's the most interesting thing he's ever seen. ]

Okay. You'll, uh. You promise to come back?

[ there's something in his voice that makes her pause, really look at him, before nudging his arm a little. ]

Hey, I told you. I'm not going anywhere, okay? [ a beat, and then: ] I'll come back. I promise.

[ He tries for a smile at that, but it only graces his mouth, doesn't reach his eyes. ]

Yeah, uh. [ Pausing, Bells nudges her back. ] Thanks for, you know. Helping me.

[swedge]

[ The nudge makes her smile. Even if there's something missing in his smile, it's a step. ]

That's what I'm here for.
