Eden is about to move. She's got her backpack full of stuff - including fresh fruit and a bottle of water she liberated from Lucy's kitchen - and wears her traveling outfit of slim jeans and a fitted T-shirt.

She waits on a lawn chair in front of the Cooper house, reading a book, looking around every few minutes for people she needs to talk to.

Dreamer just grins. "Glad to be aboard," she says, chuckling.

Eden looks sheepish. "FEMA's giving out sleeping bags - we'll have to stop there. The apartment only has one bed. And probably has squatters by now."

Eden always looks on the bright side, you can tell.

"Ask 'em nicely to get the fuck out," Dreamer suggests. "I sure as hell couldn't say no to a face that cute."

Eden's smile twists wryly. "That'd probably work," she agrees.

"Well there y'go then. Problem solved."

Oblivious, cheerful Dreamer.

"See, this is why I need you around," Eden teases. "Things are just so simple with you. I need that ability to cut to the heart of the matter."

This is, perhaps, Eden telling the truth. Sometimes Eden herself doesn't know.

"Heart of the matter, yeah. That's me."

Dreamer chuckles.

"Ignoring all the complicated shit in favour of the simple solution."

"A simple solution that involves me being pretty - which I also like."

And she smiles in a pretty way.

"You're always pretty," Dreamer counters, smiling back.

"A curse, I tell you, a vile curse."

Chuckle.

"Right, babe. You keep thinkin' that."
