vander still kept his arms around his body but looked not so scared looking from Robin to Nell and then to Harry. He nodded. "I can work. I can earn my keep. I haven't been paid for it before but I can do what you want me to. And I don't eat much so you don't have to worry about that." He smiled at Nell. What kind of sales pitch could there be?
He was confused and would have to ask the boys about it later. "I don't know a Slater but the boys, they were very old, not much more than me I think." Evander stepped back a little; Harry said it was alright that he stayed, and scolded the boys but seemed SO angry. Brushing his hair out of his face, Evander chewed on his bottom lip. "I'm okay now, I do not need a doctor. I can just stay covered until the bruising fades more."
Evander smiled at Nell. He hoped he wouldn't be upset that Harry asked him to stay. Evander still hadn't found the proper time to my proper apologies to Nell and he felt bad for it.
