Harry Dresden and Ian
"Yeah. Sorry to hear that. " He was going to suggest helping out, but then the guy shot that down, and he sighed. He hoped someone could help Ian feel less out of place.
"I'm called Harry. Nice to meet you, Ian. And yeah. I do. Just started in December? I think so, yes. " Maybe a little earlier, but not much. Harry wasn't really into guys, but he liked hanging out with people, and he was pretty free with his time.
"I should get back to work, but, ah... we could hang out later, if you like?" He could always use new friends.
