(So that's no to SHIELD and the mob. Good to know. She'll keep plugging away at her alchemy lessons.)
"It's a good space for you. You've all got your own areas to work in, but you aren't isolated." Keep saying things like that, Mattie, and you'll find out just how much optimism she can wring out in your defense. Protip: it is all the optimism.
He should never try to downplay his laughs. She loves them too much and they are too precious. Foggy's office gets a glance; dinosaurs, trash can, references she doesn't understand. She'll try and remember the dinosaurs when it's time to help Matt buy him presents.
Karen's desk doesn't give away much. The flower, though, Verity can run with that when the time comes. And there's time to pick up on other things before she's helping Matt with his Christmas shopping. "Well, you're still settling into these new places. It takes time to decorate really well. And lucky for you, I've been getting a crash course in decorating lately, so... we'll work on it."
If he wants to let her help. She knows it might be overstepping to assume she'll be allowed to just show up with things and start putting holes in walls. On the other hand, she already has ideas. Little ones, cozy ones. Things everyone should like, or at least tolerate, but mostly they're for Matt. (Marci can do Foggy's office, and Karen's capable of taking care of her own space.)
