Summary
Martin understands that Jon's going through a hard time right now - and he's not bothered by the sight of Jon staking out his flat, really, though he's a little embarrassed on Jon's behalf. Still, it's getting cold and Martin hardly wants Jon freezing to death. Maybe if he offers Jon a cup of tea, that'll convince Jon to go on his merry way.

Summary
Jon's first night in Chicago, he and Martin talk.

“It’s just,” he presses his fingertips to his forehead. “It feels odd, it feels bad, it feels difficult and discordant almost, in this…” Horror of my making. Cage of my craftwork. This Catch-22, this slaughterhouse, god I’m sorry, I’m so sorry – “Situation… to have to do the mundanities. Eating, sleeping -”
“Keeping up the Duolingo streak.”
Jon huffs.
“Indeed, keeping up the – shit!”
Martin laughs, properly, and Jon can see him in his mind’s eye – crinkles at his temples and dimple hollowing out his cheek.
“That’s the sound of a man who’s neglected his Spanish past participles.”
I can read every language in the world. I can speak every dialect, and form every sound, and fool every native.
