It could be said that's true of agreements between humans, too. Contracts are just a type of promise, and people break promises all the time. Maybe they don't mean to, maybe they even do so accidentally, but it happens. All anyone can ever do is their best to keep their word and face the consequences if they don't... but Drake does smile slightly when K takes the notepad and starts listing their private agreements. Even if the other man is just humoring him, that's K trying to make this work.

While he does that Drake grabs a second pen and signs the actual contract, no hesitation in his movements. K says it's good? He's already made up his mind. Then he reaches for the bigger stack of papers on the table, the one that's been face down all this time, and starts separating them.

"I picked these based on my budget," he tells K, "so if yours is really different we might have to look again... but they're still a good starting point."

They're apartment listings, organized mostly by size and price. Drake's set them out in piles that might seem random but besides the obvious criteria of Up or Down, one of the Down piles is available apartments near Jesus. One of the Up piles is focused on places near parks. There are a variety of styles because Drake didn't know what K would like, but every single rental allows pets.
