“Exactly! And you’re not an idiot, so you won’t,” she says, with not a smile, but a slight smirk at Jorg’s expense. She shakes her head a little at his comment about the alcohol but the dude’s not wrong and well, past her probably could have done to remember that, but that’s... a whole thing she absolutely shouldn’t think about, right now. “And... I, dammit, uh.”
She coughs, scratches the back of her neck. Looks a little to the side.
“I also know sleeping in an empty room that isn’t usually fuckin’ empty... well, it sucks, so uh, if you need to crash somewhere else for a couple nights before you can face that, my brother’s... not sleeping in our room at all, right now, so... yeah. His bed’s free.”
Sleeping in the silence after North died always fucked her up, hell it still does, even now. She can never quite sleep right, always struggles to get herself back under after waking up in the night.
It’s worse again since he stopped coming by even once a week, so he can think. She expects it to get worse when he inevitably stops thinking and tells her he’s cutting her off, because if she expects anything less than the worst, there’s room for her to fall apart further.
Which she extra shouldn't think about right now, anyway. The offer is for Brand's benefit, if he needs it, not hers.
