It was a hopeful thought, that the both of them could enter a new step in their lives after the darkness. Abasi knew that often these kind of resolutions did not pan out, but he had never made one in this situation before and something about Loren made him feel hopeful. "Then perhaps we could support each other in our new endeavours."
If he was welcome to stay, he would not leave. With a little smile Abasi finished cleaning his front then began to pull on his pants, talking as he did so. "Insist all you like. I enjoy staying at the manor - more than I thought I would, actually." When he had first arrived, he had been so sure that Egypt was irreplaceable he would hate anywhere he stayed; while he still missed his home dearly he had found a different kind of peace staying with Loren.
"I will be contributing to the manor from now on, though. I do not like staying for nothing." He said, in a tone that sounded like he wasn't willing to argue on it.
