Yeah? [ He's got one of those soft smiles he sometimes manages - it's not often so they're pretty rare - and it's probably stupid but he kind of hopes she can tell just from that first response. But then he goes further: ] Not that I doubt it, knowing that Garmr likes to steal your food and all, but I think I oughta judge that for myself.
At least if you bring dinner and get here through a portal, we know it won't be possibly lukewarm at best if we ended up getting something delivered.
[ He doesn't do it often because he likes being able to go in somewhere and pick up his own food - be it groceries or ordering a meal and staying somewhere or grabbing it to go - since he had several decades where he didn't have such luxuries. But sometimes it was damned convenient to just pluck a bag from right outside his doorstep and not have to make idle chit-chat with someone if he didn't want to. He just hates when it arrives and it's not not as warm as he expected it to be.
There's a stretch of silence in his texts to her for a few minutes before she'll see a photo pop up a moment later of his apartment door. It nothing remarkable but hopefully between that and the apartment number, she'll be able to narrow it down. ]
I don't really have anything to tidy up before you come in but I just need warning before you do so I can turn off my alarm.
