Persephone shrugged, picking at her food again. "Things have been fine. I haven't really been doing much outside of work." She didn't really like admitting that aloud, but there it was. It had been a few months since she had broken up with Olivier and she hadn't so much as dipped a toe in the dating pool again. Yesterday's mess of a dinner party wasn't particularly inspiring in that regard either; it was another thing she could add to her reasons why she should remain single, another layer to the armour that she needed to build up.

"This place keeps me busy," she said by way of explanation.

He knew that he shouldn't be concerned, she did have a job that would keep someone busy all the time. There were so many pregnant witches lately, it was like every time he turned around someone else was growing round with a new child. He imagined that kept Persephone plenty busy, and yet Tate worried about Persephone. He needed to find time, it was a precarious game that he was playing. He was trying to beat death, cramming as much into what little time Naomi had left, while trying to keep up with his own life. He was falling behind in a few areas, though he tended to still find time to pop in on Dora.

"That's understandable," he said with a nod. "If you're up for it ever, we could get out every now and then for a roommate dinner. Catch up properly with each other, without prying little ears." He thought they might also continue to get together once he moved out, but he would approach that when he had to face the reality of moving out. "We could even go to one of those karaoke nights or something at V-Bar. They're always good for a laugh."

Persephone smiled faintly, suddenly rendered a little emotional by Tate's suggestion. "I don't know what I did to deserve a flatmate like you. I'd really like that." She quite enjoyed karaoke; her voice wasn't anywhere near as good as ZJ's, but she had some good enthusiasm when she did take to singing.

"Merlin, I never thought I'd end up such a workaholic. Moving back here was supposed to give me a break from working all the time." She shrugged, a touch embarrassed. "I guess I never really got out of the habit."

"You know, I've thought the same thing?" Tate admitted, though his cheeks were a bit pink with the admission. It went a little deeper than that, though he knew he couldn't voice that. It wasn't something he should be even considering, especially with Zeke now in the picture. He was being ridiculous about this crush on Persephone, yet he couldn't shake it. He enjoyed not just living with her, but her company when they would hang about as friends, as well as these more serious moments.

"Have you ever heard the saying, Old habits die hard?" he asked curiously. "You need to just start doing other things with the time that you keep throwing into work. Make a plan for yourself, every Thursday at 7pm you'll be home and we will watch a movie of the other's choosing, depending who chose the week before. That way, you'll have a set time you need to be someplace and not get sucked into work." His cheeks blazed a brighter red then, a nervous laugh slipping from him. "That was a bit too far, but I found it helps me if I make myself a schedule like that. I'm notorious for spending hours in the kitchen and never coming out to enjoy the world when I need to be." It was what had started him down the wrong path when he was young, he would burn himself out work until 3am, going out with the crew until all hours, and then coming back in the morning. He hadn't been able to keep up, so he had found a way. Tate was glad he had broken the cycle.

"Aye, I've heard of it." But she was very good at falling into habits and very bad about breaking them.

Tate was blushing and Persephone wasn't sure why. It sounded very organised and that actually appealed to her in her current state of mind. "Wednesdays are a wee bit better for me," she teased gently. "How about this? I'll try to text ye more so we know when we're both going to be home of an evening."

"Sounds like a plan to me," Tate agreed with a crooked grin. "We can change things up if our schedules don't align for it."

Even if they weren't consistent on getting together every week for dinner, Tate was relieved that she was still willing to keep up a friendship with him whether he moved out or not. He was trying hard not to poke too much at this crush he'd found himself having on her, but he was looking forward to spending more time with her. He pushed all those thoughts away though, focusing instead on enjoying the rest of his lunch with her.
