"You know about the Animus?" Okay, that was not expected, no. At all. Desmond is willing to wait for this explanation because it sounds like a good one. The only place he can think of to take Malik that's actually private is his own house. Desmond lives alone and it's rather stark at the moment, the only real lived in space being in the living room area since he hasn't been using the bedrooms. It's not dirty though, outside of some dishes to wash later.

Desmond moved what little things he had on the couch over to the dining table, and then gestured to the couch. "If you want to sit down. No one else lives here, so. It's as private as we're going to get." It's not like he gets visitors either, outside of one exception and she's not likely to stop by.
