	“Make friends huh?” Elroy dropped his smile and remained silent for a few seconds. “Hmmm...” He set the candy back on the rock and used his free hand to scratch his chin. “Never met someone who just wanted to be friends. There's always some agenda involved.” The smile started to return to his face. “And what's this nonsense about 'dragging the conversation around' eh? That sounds like something a shy boy says to his date on prom night.” the boy laughed at his own joke. “But if you insist on letting me choose the topic to discuss, then how about employment?” he adjusted his glasses. “My sister and I are sort of on the run. We were watching the hospital brawl that you were talking about and we got attacked by a vampire girl and a maid. So we're interested in working for someone who can offer us some protection.” Elroy tossed the apple up and down without looking at it. “You'd like my sister. She likes you feeble types. And I'm sure with the two of us on your side you would have LOTS of friends! Seriously, Regina can be pretty convincing. I can say you won't have any enemies.” Elroy bit into his apple while he waited for a response.
