Okay. Well, half of all the available space here is yours, so claim what you'd like and what you need. I've really only been using that lower cabinet near the door.
( All of his Things are a world away or fit in one backpack. It's very easy not to be fussed because he has very little to put anywhere, so he's... not going to pretend otherwise. )
Anything I make is fair game for eating if you want to join me when I'm cooking. No idea how often I'll make the attempt, but it's a standing offer. I don't care if you drink, though if you smoke, I'm asking that you please do so outside. As long as you clean up your own trash and clean up after yourself in the bathroom, I'll do the same. Past that, I'd like to ask that your things not sprawl across the common area for days on end since it's a narrow fit in here, and that you wash your clothes and sheets before they start to smell. I'm aiming for the same. If we had closing, separate rooms, it wouldn't really matter, but we don't. ( He sighs, lifting his shoulders in a small shrug. What can they do? ) We can alternate hauling trash bins off to wherever they need to go here when full. Sweeping or whatever else too.
( All the chores have been listed with a considering tone of voice; he looks back to Shima with his eyebrows quirked up at the end. Both his following questions are genuine and conversational sounding, because for all intents and purposes while he recognises Shima as a teenager, he's addressing him as a fellow adult. )
Does that sound reasonable to you? I'm happy to hear suggestions and anything you feel's important to figure out ahead of time.
