Krux: Nix, are you dressed? I reconnected with a good friend of mine. *Hears a knock and opens the door.* Ash, it's been so long.

Ash: It has. To be honest, I didn't know you did all that. And you're young.

Nix: *Walks into the room and makes eye contact with Ash.* It's you. Hi.

Krux: You two met before?

Ash: Yes, at the mall. My feet were hurting and Nix let me sit with him. You told me you had a brother, but I didn't know it was him who I met that day.

Krux: Well, let's eat.

Ash: Alright Sandy, I'm starving.

Nix: Pfft. Sandy.

Krux: *Slaps Nix's arm.* Only Ash and Scott are allowed to call me that. For now.
