John nodded. He travelled light himself. Heck, there was apparently a few boxes of stuff still at Westchester with his name on it, tucked away in the attic or something. But at the same time, everything he'd left behind - at his parent's house, at Westchester, even sorting out what to take to London - felt as much like a violation as it did a relief. He'd left bits of himself behind at school, and seeing Bobby again, brought all of it back into the light. And a lot of it wasn't pretty. So even as Bobby's smile grew, John retreated a little, walls coming back up.
Making a decision, he finished off the beer, and turned to fish around in the top kitchen drawer, taking out a key ring with several keys on it. Taking a deep breath, he then turned back to face his former roommate and tossed the keys at him. "You can move in tonight, if you want." From the text messages he'd exchanged with 'Drake', he knew they were studying at the same college. "And I can tell you where the good coffee is on campus, all that crap. Winter term starts January, so you've got some time." Pausing, he went through every bit of information he'd gleaned from Kitty and Ms Munroe in the intervening years. "Aren't you studying business or marketing or something? Something actually useful. Boring - but useful," he clarified, with a glint in his eyes.
