As far as roomates went, Carolina was pretty awesome. Little by little she fed him lessons on dealing with his magic, controlling it- the baby steps were less due to her reservations and more with York's. And his erratic sleep schedule. And his nightmares. But they managed to work through those pretty well. She didn't ask or comment and he pretended they never happened.
Progress!
The fridge was always full either through her work or his remembering, pointedly after teaching her how to text him with the tablet he gave her, to pick stuff up from the store on the way home from class. He still didn't get out enough beyond the jogging and the odd bout to the gym but- he was drinking less, sleeping better, and eating more often. It made him more bearable in crowds.
If only he could repay the stability having a demon in his life with actually letting her out. He went over his notes and the video so many times- and since the book is gone? He doesn't know what he did to bind her to the apartment. Maybe it's the apartment, maybe it's wherever he lives- because he will have to move in a few years. He'll burn that bridge when he gets to it.
Right now he's trying to sort out how to deal with all the questions about Carolina's commentary. It's the most popular video and blog post he's done to date and no one even SAW her. "Lina, you said all of six things during this video and I already got like, fifty bucks in paypal donations to 'bring the hot sounding chick on more often'."
