For someone who's been living out of hostels, people's living rooms, and alleyways for the past two decades or so, the idea of really taking ownership of a space is foreign. Maybe convince him he'll actually get to stay for longer than a couple months and he'll think about it.

He pulls out another cookie when she clearly decides not to ask whatever she was going to ask, and fills the silence with, "Have you talked to anybody else since this morning?"
