[Spike's already at the door and waving Clark in.]
Pete's out, but here it is. My humble flat. Half a one, anyway.
[He still didn't have a bed, but he'd figure that out later. TV was his priority and he had gotten one. It has old rabbit ears on top and a turn dial.]
Want a beer? [He's asking, already opening up the fridge. Blood and beer is about the only thing in it. Maybe some mustard.]
[These are the questions, but he's already switching on the TV and sitting near Clark to lean against the couch. The picture's going in and out, but it's a surprisingly good signal for a twenty year old set that was probably thrown out a window.]
Well. Ta then. Still have to fish myself a mattress, but that's for another day. And I should get some proper curtains since that tinfoil's a little tacky.
[He shrugs, taking a swig before trying to add on.]
Found out 24's AGI's and besides that, don't know if this employment thing is for me. Vampires don't exactly keep jobs back home. Never done it before.
Well most of the places here are affiliated, and if they're not they get frightened into it sooner or later. If you don't work there, it just means someone else will.
And maybe in a way you're taking some of AGi's money from them?

Would love to. Address?
[Clark wouldn't admit that Spike was too quiet for him to find unless he spoke, having no heartbeat and all.]

There's cold beer and the tellies still warm.

I... Please.
[He couldn't get drunk, but he could pretend it helped. Spike's company would probably be more distracting.]
Nice, uh, television.

You like it? Fresh from the dumpster in Sector 4.

It makes the place look homely, believe it or not.

[It's said idly, and Clark takes another little sip, then sighs, props his chin against his knee. More like a teenager than an superpowered alien.]

[a beat] I think I'm gonna quit my job.

[He tilts his head at Spike, uncertain, and just leaves him space to add more of an explanation to that statement.]
