[ He's almost bashful when she mentions that she's already got some leads on work, because she hasn't even been here for a week and of course she's already on top of that. Even if the month he's been here has been highly unconventional, it's still been a month and he's made no progress on that front. Hasn't even actually tried. His voice goes a bit quieter at that. ]
Let me know if anything pans out? I haven't actually started looking.
[ It's. It's time. It's also kind of a signal as to just how badly he needed Naomi to be here. Any one of his people, really, but he's known Naomi the longest, she's helped him the most. It's a much better pattern to fall back into, being around her again.
He feels a little better at her assurance that she'll message him too if she ever needs him. Nods. It's not as good as actually being with her, but. It's something.
He frowns a bit at the mention of nightlife though, since, well, it's still there on some level. Doesn't just completely go away. ]
There's some if you know where to look.
[ Which, he does - it had been like falling back into his oldest habits. He hadn't missed a beat, even if it is more dangerous to be out and about now. He's already gotten into one fight with a gang of soldiers, had... maybe too good of a time doing it.
He looks off into the distance for a moment, back into the city, where plants are still overgrown across buildings, where there's still so much that needs to be done and he's just been ignoring it. Sighs, looks back at Naomi, really looks at her. ]
I'm really glad I found you. I... It's good that you're here. You can help a lot of people.
[ Him included, yeah, but he's trying to think a little more like how he knows Naomi does. That if you can help other people, you should. Her being here is a net good. He's just. Kind of clinging to that. ]
