Not having to do anything is sort of pleasant, even if he's suspicious at first. He eases into the schedule until he actually feels comfortable, every day being the same over and over again. There's new dishes to try and he makes note of what meets Jade's approval and what he seems to really, really like.

And while Irvin's still around, he uses the time outside to meet Takaya. The drugs are safely tucked away in his pillow case. It's easy to hide something there when he's doing the laundry all day by himself and apart from feeling sleepy after starting up his dose again, there's no change. He takes good care of his body, using the salves every day before going to bed and it's a lot easier to get enough sleep when you're not out on the streets.

Just when he's almost lulled himself into the false belief that his life will be blissfully boring from now on, Jade mentions a party. Jade never mentions anything just because. Raising an eyebrow, he sets down his fork. "... I'm not really a party person."
