"I can definitely work with that!" He enthused back, still very much caught up in the high of planning. "If you have any pictures of his place it'd help, but I think I've got a good enough idea of what you're going for that I can wing it. I can totally outfit it with a liquid cooling system so the only fan will be from the power supply! Actually, I wonder if it's possible to modify a power supply to have liquid cooling itself? I can look into it! Even if I can't there are plenty of quiet options for power supplies. You won't even be able to tell this thing is on by the time I'm done with it!"
"Shit, yeah, I can definitely work with that." A top-of-the-line PC, outfitted with all the bells and whistles, for a guy who probably wouldn't use it much. This thing was going to last decades. He'd make it so goddamn powerful the only thing they might have to replace would be the BIOS battery, if that. If he played his cards right, he'd be able to eat actual food that wasn't dug out of a dumpster for weeks!
Oh, jeez, she was going to try to find him an apartment now? He'd been feeling that itchy-scratchy feel that he'd been overstaying his welcome for a while now. It was pushed aside in his enthusiasm, but now it was roaring on back. He fiddled with the tablet a bit, writing down a few notes, while chewing on his lip and wondering how to express just how much she really didn't need to go more out of her way for him...
"You don't have to go through the trouble! Honestly. I could just find an alley behind a 24-hour Dunkin' to bum off their wi-fi while I work on this." He didn't mention that he might be considering living behind a 24-hour Dunkin' Donuts until he could find an apartment to set up his stuff in. Anyone in their right mind would know that this wasn't a good idea. Especially when the offer was from a guy who was used to being the scariest thing that went bump in the night in human cities. But, well, living your entire life knowing you had jaws that could break steel gave you some self confidence, you know? As long as he didn't run into some magical bullshit he should be perfectly find just muscling through his problems. In theory, at least.
Honestly though? It was kinda nice to have someone who was looking out for him. It hadn't happened much back where he was from.
