Right. Set them up in Exsilium. [Ugh. He's not thrilled about them being here beyond that first surge of happiness to see them, but hearing Steph sound so calm about it does actually help.] We've still got a couple of extra rooms, at least.
You're gonna have to get used to living with your parents again.
[It's said lightly, because she meant what she said about letting her worry about other things. Jaime's got enough to deal with, she's just going to focus on reassuring him.]
If they want to do some shopping while they're here, I can help with the funds for that. Turns out I'm not bad at poker.
[Or at stealing people's wallets, but she won't mention that.]
Really? I mean, I've got some cash, but I don't really have any clothes for them.
[They could probably fit into his clothes - they're a family that's a little on the short side, truth be told - but he doesn't actually have much. That's one unforeseen drawback to having the Scarab make up the bulk of his wardrobe.
You'd have a hard time finding someone who sounds more earnest when he says,] Thank you, Steph.
Really, I was just gonna spend it on shoes and jewellery, anyway.
[It's a joke, mostly, since she'd been planning to turn all her money into something a little more transportable, for future use. But she has plenty, so giving some moeny to Jaime's parents won't hurt.]
Don't worry about it, Jaime. That's what friends are for.

[Still, there's a smile audible in her voice.]
