"Good. Well, I mean, pretty all right, I guess. It's lots of work, and I miss being at home with my family," he admitted. "It's taken some getting used to... being out on my own." His eyes slid to Anthony and he blushed a bit. He wasn't REALLY on his own, and he was grateful for that. Having Anthony around made it easier.
"Still, I've got it better than lots of people." He frowned a bit, thinking about that. Here he was complaining about being away from his family when he'd CHOSEN to do it for work, and Anthony had no one to go home to.
