Claude was quiet for a moment. They should be fine here, but as he thought about it, it might not be. After all, Eliot had just shown up in their apartment one day. Anyone could, and even if he doubted anyone would be out in this weather, they could be and knowing there was shelter there, they could turn up.
”Your place would be better,” he said after a moment. ”Not that I’m expecting anyone - but guests don’t only show up when they’re expected.”
The idea seemed prudent at least. Claude began to get some supplies such as food and what not. They could come back for more later, so he didn’t grab too much. ”Lead the way, Ilesha,” he said, ready to follow. Keeping warm in one apartment would be easier, but Claude wondered what they would do to pass the time. They barely knew each other. Perhaps that would be a start.
