[That seems like a dumb and inadequate greeting given, well, everything, but he can't take it back now.]
Sorry if I freaked you out, I wasn't sure how to ring the doorbell. [Y'KNOW, THE ONE THAT DOESN'T EXIST....] They sent you here, too?
[By that answer (picking, not owning), it seemed safe to assume Eddie was like him, another part of the confused crowd of arrivals from earlier. Another lost kid. Another psychic kid? He has so many questions, he hardly knows where to begin.
Entering the house at Eddie's non-verbal invitation is a good place to start. All Jake has to carry in with him is his own weary self and the device they'd given him--and the device is one thing more than he'd had on his person when arriving. He'd left New York with the clothes on his back and that'd been about it.]
Thanks.
[After a cursory look around the front entry, he turns back to Eddie. The other boy didn't have to let him in or anything.]
