Private Finished A Room with A View - Roommate Included

"The Uk?" Sterling smiled when Jamie mentioned the place, he knew it quite well, he had quite a few charges there over the many centuries. "I have been there many times, it is very beautiful." he said, "I worked there for many years." he said not thinking that he looked like he was only 18, 19 and was, therefore, a strange comment to have made.

"Ah, I believe, you were, the term is, army brat?!" he remarked joking, trying to think what they called someone who grew up in an army, military family.

"Hmm...Where am I from?" Sterling murmured thoughtfully, he didn't tell people too often about his condition, but his roomie should perhaps know. "Well, that is a hard one. Not Earth ... it's, well humans often call it, heaven, though it's more like another realm." he explained with a patient smile. "I hope you don't mind living with an angel." Sterling said.

"Military asset?" Sterling said with a slight frown. he didn't like the sound of that. It sounded like Jamie had been treated like a weapon or something. And that idea bothered him somewhat. Sterling didn't like thinking of people being treated inhumanely or in certain ways for inhumane reasons. "That doesn't sound pleasant. I hope they treated you well." he said with some concern.

Then, when he heard Jamie say he was a cyborg, Sterling looked at him, now paying close attention as his gaze looked him over quickly and in surprise. "No, not at all..." he said with a slow smile after the initial shock. Jamie did not look like a cyborg. Not at all. "Actually, I wouldn't have known if you hadn't have said anything. " he admitted with a grin.

"Is that why you said you were a military asset?" Sterling asked then, believing the two things were related somehow. Then, after a quick second,

"Sorry, I am overly curious at times. Angels have a habit of asking too many questions too, I'm afraid, " he admitted sheepishly. "You don't need to say anything if you don't want to. Ignore I asked." Sterling said.

"Wow... I did not know humans could do such things." Sterling admitted when Jamie explained about the cameras and his sight. "It's been a while since I kept up with human technology." he said thoughtfully, "Well, ever since I stopped being a guardian angel actually..." he added, sort of surprised himself at that bit. He hadn't realised how much of his job was actually watching and learning about his charges and their world.

"Being an angel? Well, I never thought about it before..." he said with a smile, "I guess, it - it's odd," Sterling admitted, not knowing how to explain it. "I feel that I've been around forever, but not. Every day is still different somehow and I'm constantly amazed at everything around me despite everything. Mortals are a curious lot." he said. Angels often found humans to be fascinating.

"And I still get these feelings of needing to be places, it's like some force compels me there." he nodded. "I think it's a leftover thing from being a protector. And it really sucks at times, because I can't rest until I find out what I need to do." he admitted to Jamie, grimacing slightly here.

"Oh, and the days are much quieter now, thankfully." he said looking at Jamie, "when I was a guardian angel, it was always noisy in my head, people were constantly always calling out, asking for help and we'd hear those pleas... and many times, sadly, I had to ignore them," he said kind of embarrassed and with a sad smile.

"And you? What is being a cyborg like?" Sterling asked. "Do you miss being completely human?"

@SirCatfish

Sterling nodded in agreement as Jamie spoke of being a cybord, he completely understood what he was talking about - In a way, they were both very similar - creations - Jamie of the human kind, and him of the divine, celestial kind. And in an odd way, it was comforting to Sterling to know that his potential roommate was also like him in a way.

"You don't need to worry about that, You've explained yourself very well. " Sterling said with an encouraging grin, "And I don't need to eat or drink either, but I love sweets or baked bread - pastries that kind of thing... they are the best things ever..." Sterling said with a sigh, just thinking about them made him want some.

"The only thing I really do need, almost daily, is sunshine ... or nature of some sort." he said to Jamie, "Without it I just feel, well, kind of incomplete, grumpy like I'm missing something." he confessed. "That's why the place has so many windows." he explained with a grin.

"Wow, that's so great! You will have to teach me! I never really learned how to cook," Sterling admitted, cooking was not something angels learned how to do. It had not been part of their celestial knowledge or training. "Hey, I know... " here Sterling grinned, "We could learn to bake together? Maybe go to a baking class even?" he suggested thinking it might be fun, and now just assuming Jamie was moving in - he was already making plans for them.

"Oh, and don't worry about that... humans always ask for advice, it's actually very normal," Sterling said flashing Jamie a grin - this time he could answer with authority. Human nature was something he knew about.

"That's great news. I think we'll get on really well... Let me go grab you a key..." Sterling said happy when Jamie told him he'd like to move in soon.

"Hey you go," Sterling said as he handed him the spare that was on a side table. "And if you need help with moving anything just let me know. I have a car, can pick you up, move boxes, anything really," he stated wanting Jamie to know that if he needed help he was there to give it.
