Re: [diner: eddie/cat]
[Eddie was surprised to see meow face a little misty-eyed. They didn't do that around each other, not for a couple years, and he was actually sort of glad that it wasn't impossible. The kid rambled about needing money and papers and a place to stay. Eddie just nodded and sipped his coffee.] Everything that's mine is yours, you know that. [He had told her that once a long time ago, once they had finished trying to one up each other.]
You look like a young Harry Houdini. That's a good thing. [He commented and shrugged at the Cinderella spell.] We give it a few days, see if it wears off. You can live with me above the arcade. I'll say you're my new young ward. The little town will love that. I suggest not talking much and learning to pretend you like video games if you want to step foot outside my apartment. [He raised his finger in the air.] And, I can organize things with the bar if you give me a list of current employees. That way you can take all the time you need to figure this out.
