"Maybe," he says a bit shyly. "Dunno if I should - should go out too much."
"It's just with me, and it's to the Enclosure." He shrugs. "I'm a Warden. If anyone complains about you not being under house arrest, we can tell them it's a professional thing."
"I'll - I'll ask Brooklyn," he promises.
"All right," he nods. "How are you getting along so far?"
Oh, don't get me wrong, Aaron! I'm impressed by what you do, very impressed!

"I don't think most people here would be open about that." Most people here are so guarded it's a wonder they make connections at all, sometimes.
You didn't even need to ask. I've already started on one!
Aaron just shrugs again. He seems to be doing a lot of that, though he rarely really knows the answer. "Maybe. I'm gonna just - just read a while," he mutters.
"Yeah," he ought to go figure out what else happened and that means talking to Dorian, something he's not exactly looking forward to. "I'll see you tomorrow."
