His need to take his bladder for a walk had made him not look and so the sudden voice was completely unexpected. He stiffed for a moment on reflex, but slowly relaxed as he turned to look at Booker.]
I..okay. Sorry if I woke you up. I'll be down in a minute.
[He seemed a little less worked up at least.
He was still in the same clothes when he finally came downstairs, though he had straightened himself out a little to look a little less slept in. He paused at the entrance to the kitchen, for a moment looking like he was going to chicken out and run right back to the safety of Booker's room, but then he was crossing his arms around himself and clearing his throat.]
I- I wanted to apologize for how I acted when I first got here. I really do appreciate you letting me stay here. I can pay a little, too. For my food.
