"I-it's fine. Neither of us were expecting that."
"If you want, I can set you up a place to live here... It doesn't cost that much and you probably don't want to go back to the woods."

"Plus I only drink at parties, and I promise I won't... things won't end up lik they did with your mum."
I raise my hands up.
"So, what do you say?"
