Steve smile a bit more when Olivia seemed to brighten up over the thought of him having a little sister. It had been a while since any of his family had come to visit; almost a year to be precise. It was easier for him to go back home than it was for any of them to come here. So the thought of having Vivian come to visit was actually appealing. She liked the trip the last time, but it had been just her and Chris and it was a chance for them to feel a bit of freedom. It was about time he asked if any of them wanted to come out to see him instead, and he was sure his sister would jump at the chance to come out again.
"Yeah, I could talk to my folks and see if we could arrange it sometime in the next month or so. She's a little younger than you - fourteen - but I'm sure she'd love to meet you too." At least that much he was sure of. His sister was a social butterfly. Really, everyone in his family were far more socially adept than he was. The only difference between their socialness and hers was that for some reason she had an interest in meeting the people in his life. Like it was some oddity or she needed to vet them or something.
When she mentioned seeing what they did for fun, he couldn't help but chuckle a little bit. It wasn't like they did a lot for fun. Having people over or going out to a bar with some of their friends was kind of it as far as he was concerned. Considering they both had demanding jobs that kept them pretty busy, or at least exhausted, they weren't terribly exciting. At least, that was his opinion. Plus, what they did for fun wasn't exactly something she could do as well.
Steve opened his mouth to answer Olivia's question when he heard Ethan's voice. He chuckled at his friend's comments, he couldn't help it. Yeah, walking around a mall wasn't exactly how he wanted to spend his weekend, but then again it did mean getting to know his new roommate. If Ethan hadn't voiced defense for him, he honestly wouldn't have thought twice about agreeing to it until they were actually at the mall and he realized the rabbit hole he'd stepped into.
"Well, to be fair, I did make the offer for us to all spend time doing something this weekend to, ya know, get used to each other. I suggested a bit of a tour and meeting the others in the building and showing her around the neighborhood. If she likes the mall..." He shrugged a little. "I honestly don't mind showing her where it is. I mean, if it turns into a thing, it's not like I don't need things I can get there." Not that he really wanted to sign himself up for walking a teen girl around a mall on a Saturday, but he did want this all to be easy for everyone. If that took volunteering to walk around the mall, then so be it.
"It's not like there's a lot of places we hang out that she can join us." He offered Ethan another shrug.
