"Hell yeah it can," Eric agreed. He glanced at the guy, thinking that smile spoke volumes as to what kind of night he'd had. And he had to stomp down on the instinct to tease the guy about it. He'd just met him, and who the hell knew what kind of reaction that would get? The last thing he wanted was to get himself on someone's shit list. "Dude, that sucks. The no lights, I mean. Making the best of it is always good. We got lucky that someone'd had the foresight to put candles in the laundry room, and that I smoke so I've got matches on me all the time. Would've really fucked with us if we'd been stuck underground in utter darkness all night. So yeah, hi, I'm Eric," he introduced himself, sticking out his hand for the guy to shake if he wanted. He seemed to be friendly enough so far.
