Joseph gave her a small nod to indicate he understood her request. "I know they say yoi can't speak bad about the dead, but he sounds like a major jerk. And thats coming from someone who's in the mafia." Joseph said in a somrwhat light mood in an attempt to make her a little more convinient around him. He felt responsible for her, even though he never wanted to be. But the woman had nothing left. [i]He[/i] somehow became the only thing she could address to, and that was probably very difficult for her.
He watched as her entire body language showed that she was very upset with his request to cut ties from her friends. 

"I'm sorry. But I promise you its for their best. It would be more painful if their well being would be used as a negotiation card against you and I." He explained and sighed a little. "I...Well, I suppose I should tell you a little about myself...If that interests you at all." He wondered out loud. What if she didn't truly care? She probably didn't. How could she care about someone she just met the day before? But he had to help them break the ice somehow, and what was better than getting to know each other?

"Even if we won't fall madly in love with each other...We can at least be friends, I...Suppose." He suggested." I am twenty three. I... graduated highschool, unlike most of my family. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to go to college because...Well, the family business didnt allow it. But if I would go, I'd probably go and major in..Culinary maybe." He said while tapping on his chin as he thought about more things to share about him." Oh, I have six sisters. I'm the oldest one, they are all younger than me. Lisa is the oldest of my sisters. Then there is Erica, Samantha, Lily, Meg, and the youngest, she's 10, is Annalise." He explained.

"I am mostly in charge of the easr side of town. The terretories there are under my reaponsibility. I will not tell you about my business there just yet. But maybe in time." He said and offered her the smallest of smiles." Oh and...Well, I know I called you...Mary at night. Mary is my ex-girlfriend." He said, feeling a tightness in his gut. He was still not used to saying she was his 'ex'. 

"Thats...About it, I suppose."
