I just think it's complicated. A lot of people have learned to live and even be happy with the rules of this place, and it's given a lot of second chances to people who otherwise might not have much of a choice. That's easy enough, for now, but the city's already showing that they're willing to tighten their grip, and I just don't think they're going to stop there.

Myself, Natasha, my neighbors, we get into some shit from time to time. I know you're going to say you won't mind, but I'll still worry about it. I also just worry about this being just a little weird, for you, but. I know you wont mind that either.
Well it sure isn’t simple. Better to be with someone I trust when it gets harder, isn’t it?
You’re worried I’ll be collateral damage by existing in the same space as you? That could happen whether we were contracted or not, just with how this place is and with how we’re designated.
You’re right, that I don’t mind some weirdness. It’s who I am. You worried it’s gonna be a kind of weird that’ll put me off or something?
Yeah, I have. Really like her a lot, too. We get along well. [ surprising no one. ]
[ you're a good cute sweet kid and he likes you and he worries about dropping you into the middle of a bunch of war-damaged soldiers and spies, even if you won't see it that way. but it's fine. ]
Of course you do. She's handful, and can treat my house as an extension of hers. South isn't over as often, but there's that.
There's a lot I'm worried about, but at the end of the day. We'll figure it out, Eddie. I'll talk to Natasha when I get a chance, and you should maybe draft up something with Elle if you haven't already.
[ at the end of the day, eddie has thought this through, wash likes him enough to want to look out for him, and eddie is always free to recontract with someone else if circumstances change. ]
[ eddie likes being around people. anyone who treats him with basic human respect, and there’s a solid 100% positive rate of impressions with people he knows in this little two house neighborhood. so, no matter their pasts, of course he thinks he’ll be just fine being around them all. ]
Hm, I guess that’s the mystery of the hello kitty sticker solved, huh? :)
Well, you can tell me when you’re worried about something, especially if it has to do with me. I’m here to talk and listen.
Okay. Yeah, I’ll do that. Elle already told me she’d help me.
I do feel safe with you. You’re considerate and respectful. Strong. Plus there’s lots of wild shit out there you could’ve had me doing with you already before I knew anything about it. [ been doin some kink research. ] Not everyone would care about being there like I may need, ya know. There’s lots of creeps out there, probably. But you take time for me, so yeah. I’m safe with you. I know it’d be like that in other ways, just living life, too. More hands off probably :) but still. Safe. It’d be nice.
