Lloyd nodded. "Maybe… I'm not very good at small talk anyways, to be honest. It's not something I often get to practice."

He nodded slightly. "Yeah, I get that. I'm just saying that Anton isn't really the most sociable in the first place."

"I'm sure he and I will get along in time… we just haven't known each other all that long. I mean, we have to get to know each other since we'll be married and ruling together, after all."

He nodded again. "Right, yeah. Of course you'll get to know each other eventually, I'm just saying it might take a while."

Lloyd nodded and sighed. "I'll figure it out at some point… it's much easier to talk to you for some reason. I don't know why."

"Hmm. Probably because in the grand scheme of things, I don't really matter?" he shrugged.

"You do matter, Ellis. Hell, in the grand scheme of things, no one matters. My father will be forgotten, so will I, so will everyone. That's just how things are. That doesn't mean you're not important to people in your time."

He laughed a little bit. "I'm not important to most people, actually." he replied with a shrug.

"Well, you're important to me, and if I'm important to other people, I think that makes you also important." Lloyd said decisively.

He smiled a little bit. "Alright, alright. Thank you, Lloyd.'

"No problem." Lloyd returned the soft smile and lay down on his bed, now staring at the ceiling. "How are you liking it here?"

"It's…I don't know. It's a lot different than I'm used to, but…I like it."

Lloyd nodded. "You'll get used to it pretty soon. It's a little more scheduled than ordinary life, I believe, but hey. You'll be paid for working here."

He nodded a little bit. "Yeah. And pay is great." God knows I haven't been. Ever.

"Mhmm. All the staff are paid, fed, and clothed well here. You should be very comfortable, I hope." Lloyd smiled gently.

He nodded again. "Yeah. It's been great so far." he replied, smiling softly.

"That's good to hear." Lloyd hummed, glancing up at Ellis from where he was laying on the bed. "Is there anything else you'd like to talk about.

Ellis smiled at him. "Uhm…I don't know."

"Well, I'm open to any questions if you think of something." Lloyd toyed with his hair a bit.

He took a deep breath, running his hands through his hair.

Lloyd eventually sat up and left his hair alone. "You hungry?" He asked.

He blinked. "Oh. Sort of."

"Well, let's go grab some food, then. C'mon!" Lloyd hopped up from the bed and headed towards the door.

He laughed, then grabbed Lloyd's arm. "Nope. You stay here, I'll go get it."

Lloyd huffed indignantly and flopped down on the bed. "You're no fun… can I go if I use the crutches?" He asked tentatively.
