She's not one for team sports.

[He's clearly not trying to show that the locker comment strikes him as real funny.

It's true.]

[She smirks a little. She knows. ]

No kidding? She hasn’t made a lot of friends here.

[alloveragain]

Seems like she's made plenty to me.

[Three? That's a lot, in Joel's books.]

[dog_eat_dog]

Yeah, and those standards are going to doom her. There's a lot of interesting people here and she's catching up on comic books.

[alloveragain]

Doom her?

[He grimaces, trying to not take that personally. Or maybe it's because all of Ellie's shit is plaid or sweaters or torn jeans.]

Dramatic.

The whole point of being a warden is to connect with someone and get them to graduate, Joel. She's one of the youngest people here, too, and she doesn't know how people are supposed to live. She's got a lot of ground to make up.

[alloveragain]

You try tellin' her this?

[Not that he imagines Ellie taking it well. She doesn't very much like being told anything.]

You think I could keep my mouth shut that long?
