[In truth, Mello is already halfway there, and he has been since Near's arrival, when he suggested Near stay in the same house. It hasn't been an alliance exactly, because it's been unspoken and one-sided, but it's been something close to it - Mello is concerned with Near's safety and has worked toward that end, even against his own self-interest.
Mello considers the question for a moment, weighing pros - of which there are many - and cons - of which there are few. The end result of the equation is that it is slanted heavily in their mutual interest to band together in this place. Mello nods.]
Yeah. I would. With one explicit caveat - you treat me like an equal.
[It's really a reiteration of one of the rules he laid down for Near sharing the same living space with him.]
