"I can think of so many things that could go wrong, don't ask that." She's exceptional at thinking about things that could go wrong. But she doesn't actually want to think about that right now, because she's happy and comfortable and that's rare enough that it's worth basking in when it happens.
She raises her own glass, takes a long swallow and blinks as the first feeling of looseness starts to sink in. She probably shouldn't drink much more, but she can't bring herself to worry about that either yet. "You got any plans for the future here?"
"Christ no." He's settling into the couch, letting himself sag into the too-modern couch. The Initiative's aesthetic tends to run too close to the 'elaborate cube' side of things and not enough 'plush cushions' for his taste. "Vastly prefer being footloose and fancy free myself."
Which is a lie, though maybe not one he's entirely aware of. He spends too much time traipsing around in the timeline at the Initiative's behest for that to really be an honest assessment.
"And yet you keep showing up here." She's looking at her glass more than him when she says it, absent minded, not entirely meaning to let that slip.
It's just that footloose and fancy free means no attachments, but he's looked after her more than a few times now. "You've got more than a few friends for someone footloose."
