He looks at her in disbelief, then pauses. "How much?"

"Fifty credits a week." If she stays a month, that's half his rent. Sounds fair. "And if you try anything, I'm calling the police."

"Don't ye worry about a thing." Her grin widens. "Now where be this place of yers?"

Eric slowly turns and heads for the monorail station. It's a wonder anything electric works down here at all, what with the planet's messed-up polarity issues. He climbs the stairs and waits for the car to arrive. "And you pay up front."

Yipee! Now he doesn't have to worry about what to do for a job! He refrains from doing his little wiggle-dance and just steps in the car when it arrives. The car says something about campus district or whatever.

Oh. That's important, right? "Eric. Who are you?" Whatever, give him money already.

"...Alright." It takes them a few minutes to make it from where they left to where they're going. All the buildings in Henry basically look the same. Metal structures, poor insulation. When they stop, there are younger passengers getting on and off the train. A sign reads CAMPUS DISTRICT, and Eric gestures for her to follow him off.

As she follows she looks around. "Yer a student?"

"Yeah." Although there are dormitories to either side of them in this section, Eric heads past all of these to a section of smaller apartment buildings. These look much older than the other structures.

"Mechanics." It isn't just for cars anymore! His apartment building doesn't look the best, honestly. It needs a new paint job and someone is playing their music a bit too loudly inside. Eric fumbles for his keys before unlocking the front door. Inside, there are more stairs and mailboxes, etc. The typical apartment building setup.
