[ ooc; this could be a good wrap spot but I LOVE THEM TOO and want all the things with them!! this might kickstart him texting her sometimes too :3 ]
Means I'll see you sometime.
[ This might seem non-commital, but in his mind, it's the opposite. 'Sometime' is vague, yeah, but though the city isn't a tiny thing, if she's stocking shelves and checking people out, chances are good they'll bump into each other. More than that, they've established each others' phone numbers, and he's figuring she isn't planning on being shy, so it's almost guaranteed.
He doesn't have a room yet himself, but he tends to stay parked at one of the motels. He'll get a room soon, though, he just doesn't say any of that out loud for no other reason than that how she's doing is more interesting to him.
Mentally, he makes note of what she's telling him; that she's got a room, she's got a job. Objectively, these are good things. Things he wants her to have, in fact, because it means she's got a roof over her head and a way to make money, to get food in her, get the things she needs. A little closer to being okay enough. And that is something he wants — for her to be okay here. ]
[ ooc; I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!! and yes he should text her every now and then. c: ]
Yes it does. :)
[ she doesn't view it as non-committal. if anything, she sees it as almost playful, joking, in a way that she's starting to think is just amos' way of joking. it makes her smile all the same, having his phone number, not being immediately shut out.
at the moment, karen doesn't press. she wants to ask where he's staying, what motel he decided on, what life is like there and where he's settled up, but she knows that might be a lot. it's only been a few days, and she doesn't want to be annoying, and figures this might just be it. little does he know that job she's got will be gone in just a week or so, thanks to the gridlock of the resort, but that's okay too. she bounces back. she'll get a new job.
and, then again, even if worse comes to worse, she'll have amos' number to call, too. and there's comfort in that, too. ]
