Re: Milkshake Bar: Ren & Alex
"Not really like roommates, so much," Alex said, moving away from the milkshake bar so other people could enjoy it, finding a space to sit and slouching down into a chair with the glass cradled in both hands. "I live above the electronics shop downtown. Mal Reed runs it. He lives there too. Oh, and Shiloh - he lives across the hall from me. I dunno if you know either of them," he said, taking another sip.
"Yeah," Alex agreed thoughtfully. "Like, it feels like a lot right after it happens, like the thing last summer with the, uh, well, you were the newsie and stuff," he said with a sly little laugh. Because he'd been the capital-C Cat. Funny now, but at the time, he thought he'd been losing it. "But a lot of people here kinda...bring their own weirdness, too, I think." If Ren knew what he meant, he'd know. And if not, well.
