Liam smiled at her efforts to try to convince him. He raised his hands as he laughed.<br/><br/>"Alright, Alright! I'm convinced. I'm too damn easy." He smiled, "Any of the above would work. I like the idea of expanding my horizons in my art too much to take extensive haggling."<br/><br/>Oh, a sundae though. Who doesn't love a good sundae? He mentally ran through his schedule in his head. He wondered what Brian would say to this. He'd probably tell him that its a bad idea. He needs an available time slot that he would avoid conflict with his godfather. He smiled when he came across one.<br/><br/>"How about we get together on Thursday nights at six at the library? I can take the bus AND avoid the guardian." He smiled hopefully.<br/><div style="text-align: center;">###</div><br/>Brian pulled his welder's mask up. He studied the joint of the bike frame again. It seemed to be taking well. The paint job could go back on cleanly. He lifted the bike off the table and set it on the conveyor belt to take them to the next station. He sighed and wiped at his brow. This damn factory was always hot. Even when it was freezing outside, it felt like a sauna. He took a drink of water as he watch the next bike some towards him on the other conveyor belt. After setting his water down, he pulled his mask back down.<br/><br/>The shower of sparks started flying all around him again and he set to work on the bike. This was not the best job in the world but Brian was happy. It paid decently and had great benefits. His thoughts weren't on work much today though. he was worrying about Liam. According to the kid, he was good at that. Liam just didn't have many friends and that worried Brian. The kid had never really even had a girlfriend either. Or a boyfriend. That would work, too. Brian wasn't phobic or anything. He just wanted the kid to have someone. He knew how it was. Talking to the guardian was uncool and fill of the idea that he "wouldn't understand". It was like every teenagers forgot that puberty happened to everyone. He'd co out again tonight and continuing the search for a pack for the two of them.
