[ The joke's on her, though: for every inconsequential item she sees fit to keep of Venom, she'll find that he's done the same. One day she'll turn around and find a glint of silver-gold in Venom's ashy-brown hair, a tie he'd accidentally pilfered from Angela's living room table without noticing that it wasn't his.
In the same way he'd kept his fallen comrades' ashes in his pockets as diamonds, he'll do the same with the most minute details of Angela's life. He'll carry them, because they matter.
(She'll always be an active part of him then, won't she? 'Put your roots in me.')
Angela's use of the word 'home' is like a cold compress on flushed skin, and Venom replies with a gentle sigh (the contented kind, the 'I-just-had-a-good-meal' kind) as he steps into the welcome privacy of his friend's space. ]
Always good to be here.
[ No posturing, no 'I'm only gonna be here for a bit's. Just another squeeze of hand to shoulder before stepping inside to settle Angela's groceries on the kitchen counter, freeing himself up to respond to Eiger's expectant tail-beating.
Look at this fucking old nerd, crouching next to this sweet son so he can ruffle his fur and whisper good dog under his breath. The Legendary Big Boss, ladies and gentlemen. ]
