Becky stops by about an hour later with said kid in tow and a plain black knapsack; books, clothes and movies, probably, as she assumes David is, from experience, sorely lacking in kid-friendly items.
Tammie for her part just looks around. She seems to be distracted and/or entertained by the echoes her shoes make in the mostly empty apartment, but is notably less entertained with the lack of puppy.
David, after he's been kept waiting for that long, went out and had a duplicate key for his front door made. He hands it to Becky, then looks to the kid and holds out the book.
Becky gives David a little lopsided smile that says, yeah, it is, and looks down at Tammie as she takes the book from him. She tucks it under an arm and invites herself in--Tammie's looking around, scoping the place out.
Becky takes the key. "Thanks," she says, and then remembers the bag over her shoulder, which she offers to him in return.
She moves a little closer, but is watching Tammie to make sure she doesn't get into anything she shouldn't.
"We've got some pretty good leads, and Eiko's gonna be on the case soon, so... this shouldn't be for very long." She looks back up at him. "Thank you. I'll be by in the morning, okay?"
Becky crouches down beside Tammie, who, once she's sees David is awake and stirring, reluctantly rubs her eyes too and sits up. In a gesture that she probably wouldn't have predicted two or three days ago, the little girl holds out her arms for what looks like a hug, but when Becky returns it, Tammie clings onto her, and Rebecca has to stand up to balance her weight out.
She's asleep again in under a minute.
Becky steps back, a little discomposed from the sudden weight.

Then he looks to Becky.
Yep. Awkward.

"...shit."
He starts to sit up, then notices Tammie and chuckles faintly.

"Was everything okay?"

"We read for a while, had a little pizza... then she dozed off. Nothin' to worry about."
He pours a scoop of ground beans into the coffee maker, then heads towards the bedroom to lay out his work clothes.
