[quote=@Fionraella] Ptelea nods. "He was Rosey's best friend before Rosey left home..." Her smile fades slightly before smiling as he laughs. "That's good! I hope your brother is nice!" She looks out the elevator curiously, then nods. "I'm working real hard to be nice...mean people are really mean." she sets her head back on his shoulder, feeling better. Ambrose, feeling self-conscious now, follows them out of the elvator. [/quote] Tomithy senses that perhaps Ambrose was not a topic Ptelea wanted to talk about. The mentioning of his brother for her brought a smile to his face and a fog of pleasant memories. "Yeah, my brother is great. He's my little brother but he's still so much brighter than me, you know? But I always tell him that even if he can talk his way out of a situation, I'm just one phonecall away should he need me to beat someone up!" He walks along another hallway. A door to the outside is visible at the end. "You just keep it up, okay kiddo? I believe in you."
