He had to laugh when she said there were likely to be unfamiliar things where they were going. There was very little about this place that was familiar; and the building she finally led him to was no exception. He glanced around the large entry room, but did not get to take in much before Marian had stopped before what he guessed was a desk of sorts, and asked the woman seated there about moving out of her room and into a shared one. Shared with him.
Her request surprised him, and he was about to ask her about it when she explained her thinking to him. She was not mistaken about his preference there, although she apparently was assigning a concern to him that he did not have. "Who's worried about a number of bedrooms?" he asked lightly. Then, because he was starting to feel that he had pressed his luck thus far, added, "The last time we lived together, we shared a bedroom with four other people."
As much as he would rather not be serious right now, he was still very pleased that she had thought of this, and so soon after his arrival. He bent down and kissed her on the cheek, softly murmuring, "Thank you" in her ear.
He would have figured out having his own room here, but he was glad she wanted him to live with her.
