"Me and Leo, and even Madison. We are all commoners. Are you talking to us because we are worthwhile investments or because we are your friends?" He asked.
Lyra took a shaky breath. "I am not even going to ask why you got such a suspicious question. To me, all of you are good friends. I didn't think I would be making friends like you when I came here, but I don't regret it." She said.
"Fine. I'll tell you what I think about your apology then. The reason I got mad wasn't what you said. It's what you signify. You are a noble and they aren't the best kind of people," he said.
Lyra nodded. "I know. But not all nobles are like that. Eldridge is one of the best cities for commoners because of that. We treat commoners very well."
