Gideon had taken a long ass time deciding whether or not he wanted to go into the area where people asked for huts. It was a step he knew he'd fucking have to take - he couldn't hide in Eden's place forever - but it was one he didn't actually want to. It wasn't like he felt any less alone since he moved out, but knowing someone was around helped

"Is that everything?"

Eden wasn't sure yet how she felt about this move - relieved for him, she supposed, for what this meant, yes, but the idea of having her hut to herself again seemed strange after so long in his company. It meant being alone with her thoughts, with herself, and that had never boded well for her.

Still, she managed a smile as she stepped inside and looked around. "Not bad."

It felt as though his energy had just been fucking drained after the first few steps inside. Maybe he'd spend the day sleeping or something - that was always easiest.

"That's everything," he confirmed, glancing over his shoulder. After dropping his bag, he turned to her, rubbing the back of his neck with a sigh. "Finally. Thanks for the help - made it all go faster."

Eden waved a hand, dismissing the thanks as she turned and looked around. "It's my job as your friend," she said, "and my obligation to make sure you get all your shit out of my house." It was all she could do to keep her tone light. She wanted to make the house more comfortable, more like a home, but it was hard to think of one for him without Penny.

That actually got a quiet snort out of him as he turned around to look at her fully. That she made him laugh a little at all said a fucking lot about her.

"Come on, I wasn't that fucking bad a room mate," he replied with a smirk. "I kept shit clean. It was easy to bring all my stuff over."
