He isn't going to keep carrying around Baby's inert mobile forever. That'd just be morbid.
But he tried keeping it in his room upstairs, and that's worse somehow. It looks like a toy, sitting there. Like nothing that was ever really important.
So he's bringing it downstairs to try to find somewhere better to keep it. Maybe a shrine over the bar, like the memorial for Bernard and Tonks, if Bar herself wouldn't find that too painful. Or maybe in the Security office, in a storage closet there or something, so that if Baby ever -- if she ever does come back --
Right now Andrew's sitting by the fireplace, watching the fish swim in and out of the flames, with a mug of Irish coffee in his hand and a little metallic arachnoid in his lap.
Botherable.

"But she could, conceivably, go back to normal-- if someone could tell us where to find her soul?"
She narrowly avoids putting soul in scare quotes.

"Souls that leave and return to their home don't usually come back unchanged."

This idea strikes her as the coolest thing ever!
... She realizes Andrew probably doesn't share her enthusiasm, so she turns ooh! into a wince.
"Ew."

He straightens his shoulders. Weirdly, the gesture makes him feel more vulnerable.
"I'll risk it," he says, quietly. "Thank you."

"Sometimes it works out. I mean, Theseus just lost part of his thighs. Lemme know what you figure out, all right?"
