At Roman's offer, Archie's eyes widened slightly and he sucked in a breath, feeling hope well up in his chest. A place to stay? Where he could possibly work? It seemed so surreal, almost like a dream. The young author slowly turned his shocked expression away from the fireman and let out the air he kept hold in his lungs, eventually bringing a hand up to his face to contemplate if he should take the offer. After a few moments, the young man let out a sigh of relief as he came to a decision, moving his gray eyes back to Roman, rubbing the back of his head.
"Y-You know, I don't have to stay without paying...if there's a computer there, I can start typing again to pay for my stay. As for the offer, I'll accept it. You really don't know how much of a weight's been lifted off of my shoulders now." Archie spoke with a hopeful and relieved tone of voice, his shoulders relaxing as his eyes softened even more. Ever since graduation, the young author hadn't even bothered to thank anybody or even take offers, but for some reason, here he was, about to move into an apartment with somebody he barely knew. "Wow...thanks, Roman. Honestly, I mean it. Maybe...maybe not everybody's a cold-hearted jerk like me." Archie said, the side of his mouth turning up ever so slightly, such a small difference that the author wondered if Roman would see it.
"So, anyway, what do you like to do? I mean, when you're not doing your job. Any hobbies?" the young male asked, sitting up a bit more and showing the fireman a bit more interest than he had before.
