...(It's not a horrible idea, but he also didn't want to make them feel like they were being babysat either.)

Richie's in the Greenery. He...should be okay, but if he seems really upset, just...I don't know. Humor him or something.

(Eddie has spent years fostering the perfect routine for keeping Richie feeling wanted without seeming like he was trying too hard. There was a delicate balance so that Richie wouldn't get too obnoxious over the attention. Eddie didn't know how to entrust that as well as explain that to someone else.)

It's okay. I don't want to be a burden. I've got a place set up at the Observation Deck. Plus. I'm working on something.

(He looks down at his colorful hands. Maybe it wasn't important in the long run, but it was cathartic to do. It wasn't the same sort of artistic liberty Bill might take, but that was okay.)

Thanks though. This has..been more than enough. Sorry to be such a baby about all this.

Humor him, got it.

[Rogue wasn't sure when she'd become the mom friend, but it was an uncanny truth at this point. Kitty had been an even bigger mom than her, though. The bitch.]

No! Eddie, sugar, you know you're never a burden to me. Don't think that. If you ever want to stay with me, you just let me know. [She smiles hopefully reassuringly.] You'll have to show me whatever it is when you're done. Must be big, to leave you covered in chalk. [Give him a little confidence about his whole endeavor.]

You're not a baby, Eddie. I'm not gonna let you think that.

(It was pretty hard not to become the mom friend with these boys, in her defense.

Eddie smiles a little bit at Rogue's insistence.)

Naw I know. It's why I came to you. I..knew I could. (Even if he felt bad about it, he at least didn't feel like it wasn't an option at all. That was important.)

When things are better, you can always stay with us too. Richie, Bill, and I all sleep in the same room anyway so there's a lot of spare room.

(He sounds a little sad as he says this because honestly, he'd gotten used to sleeping with either one of the two boys.)

It's...pretty huge, yeah. (His smile grows a little bit more before fading rather quickly.)

Thanks Rogue. You really are a good friend.

Well, thank you, sugar. [She knew she wouldn't take him up on that- she liked having her own private space. It was far safer, and she didn't want to have to deal with one of the kids accidentally touching her.[

Like a constant sleepover.

[She had to bet that was good for them all, when they weren't dealing with this ridiculous amount of bullshit.]

Hey- I'm just doing what any older sister would do.
