[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.)
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.

Thanks Rogue. You really are a good friend.
