"Hey," he says, after a moment. "I'd like to...talk to you. Just- more about future plans," he adds, before Malcolm gets worried. "I know we're getting deals after I graduate, but...I wanted to make sure. I want to stay on until Harkin graduates. It might be a while. Are you okay with that?" He realizes it could be misinterpreted and adds, "I'm sure we'll go visit people, get off the boat sometimes, but as far as where we're living...I want it to be here."
