[that does help. Vaggie takes the umbrella. she's still smiling, for what it's worth. this was a really nice exchange, and she's kind of stunned. Vaggie's awkward and abrasive and has very few friends, so it's pretty cool to think that someone has been so kind to her. totally different from Hell, for sure]

I'm, uh, gonna go look for Charlie and get settled. [now that she has an umbrella, she can brave the rain!] But once I get some cash flow of my own, I'll treat you to a lunch, or something. If you want.
