"We can talk about all that later," Tobias said as he started to fry the sandwiches. They had time. Not a lot but they had time.
"So, Macaque. Got any fun or embarrassing stories about you and Cole? I'd love to hear them." He was going to include the other in this conversation. He was Cole's friend and Tobias wanted to get to know him better. Tobias also knew what it felt like to be that odd one out in a conversation. Happened enough back in the day with their old group. He wasn't going to let that happen here, if he could avoid it.
