Greta nods, trying to find that reassuring. Over the past few weeks, she's become rather too well acquainted with just how unsatisfying it can be to have to avoid someone for their own safety. His living situation sounds as good as it could be, considering that no one's staying ROMAC tower anymore, so that's some comfort. But she's missed seeing him, and having to stay put while Iman collected her few possessions for her had rankled a little.

"Yes," she says, though she can't help sounding a big glum about it. She turns her head and presses her lips together for a moment, willing herself to sound less inexcusably ungrateful, then tries again. "We've been lying low, but there hasn't been any trouble." She smiles, small and a bit self-deprecating, and sidles closer. "Thank you for fetching my things, by the way. I'm sorry I couldn't be there, but... it meant--it means a lot to me."

Angus, who has been tolerating Beth's exploration with good humor, turns his head to nose at her.
