She had her finger out and running down the well-used binding of a paperback when he approached her, her eyes intent on both it and it's neighbor.
"Drink? Sure, what do you have?" He'd be too young to have alcohol on hand, so it would probably be milk or soda? Did he drink soda? It was almost too much to ask him if he drank tea, and the caffeine in coffee would keep her up for hours longer than she needed tonight. After all, she did have work tomorrow. In the afternoon yea, but still it was work.
Of course she could have avoided all that if she had taken some more of Tony's money with her when she left, but the same loyalty that had her staying out of Warren's apartment when he wasn't there was the same loyalty that kept her from stealing from her former guardian. She took only what she had saved over the years, and much of that was also stashed away under loose boards in the closet, along with the computer, her real ID and passbook, a few more illegally gained museum pieces, and anything else she could think of that tied her to her former life.
