December 6th
He was out, at the store, getting Ice-cream for Claire. She had stayed at his house the night before, and woke up with an ice-cream craving. And god knows, when that girl gets a craving for something, you've gotta comply. He laughed at this, getting into the cold fridge.
As he turned around, ice cream in hand, he bumped into someone.
"Oh, sorry?" He said, turning around, walking to the counter to buy the ice cream.
"Thanks" He said to the guy at the counter, before heading out of the store. He was the kind of guy who really needed to apologize, so he waited around the front for the other guy to come out, so he could say it properly.
When the guy walked out, he turned to him. "Mate, I'm sorry about before, again. That was clumsy of me"

Elliot didn't live in Costa Verde, but his parents did. And from time to time he would go to see them. He didn't particularly enjoy these visits, but they were his parents and he felt like he should see them every now and then. It wouldn’t kill him to just say hi. But it would give him a headache. They were so needy and bossy. Which is why Elliot was making his way towards the store right now.
They had sent him to get some groceries. It wasn’t something he liked to do, especially when they could have done it themselves. They weren’t dead yet. He walked into the store and he went to the place where they held the ice cream. His parents had a thing for ice cream. They always had to have a gallon in the freezer. It was pretty weird but he didn't say anything about it. When he finally reached the place someone bumped into him.
He looked at the guy who bumped into him. He said sorry and walked away before Elliot could say something. He preferred it that way actually; it wasn’t like he was going to say it was his fault, because it wasn’t. As long as the other person said sorry he didn't care if he just walked away. But really? That was the second time in two days. First that girl, Katie, and now this guy. Since when did people get so clumsy?
He went to go pay for the ice cream and leave. Only, when he walked out of the store he was confronted with the guy who bumped into him earlier. He apologized again. Elliot just stood there, a slightly confused look on his face. Damn, I thought that he would just leave it alone. He thought to himself. Then he spoke, “Yeah, its fine. You aren’t the first person to bump into me.” he said. Being mean wasn’t on the agenda for today so he just accepted his apology, no snide comments escaping his mouth.

The guy seemed ok with it, and West didn't know what else to do. He thought about trying to introduce himself. It's not like they would become mates or anything. It was just an all round awkward situation.
"Well, I'm West, West Rosen by the way" He said to the guy. "I'd like to make it up to you. If their is anything I can do, just let me know" He said, holding out his business card for Primatech, as he was working for them now.
"Umm, I have to get home. I'll go" He said, turning around and walking off quickly. Wondering if the guy will stop him.

When their meeting became a little more awkward the other guy told Elliot his name. Elliot just looked at him for a few seconds before he said his own name. He might as well; he was doing it more often these days.
”Im Elliot, Elliot Walters,” he told him. The other guy said that if their was anything he could do to make it up to him to just let him know. Elliot actually thought about it for a few seconds before he said something. “No, really. It’s fine.” He saw that the kid had pulled out a business card. He thought that it looked somewhat familiar and took it. It was about two seconds later, after he looked at it close up, that he realized it was from Primatech. He got a little curious and when he looked back up he saw that the other guy was about to leave.
“Hey,” he said in an attempt to stop him. “You work for Primatech?” he asked. Elliot worked for Primatech too and he thought that it was kind of funny. “How old are you?” he added. He looked like he was around eighteen, maybe. Give or take a year.

He turned around, curious at the guys response. Did he really look that young? He turned back and walked over to Elliot, who wanted to know if he worked for Primatech. "Yes, I work for Primatech" he said to Elliot. "And, I may look young, but Im 19." He said to him.
"How do you know about them!" He said, this was odd, not many people knew about the company. Unless he was 'one of them' like West was.
"So do you know about... what certain individuals can do?"

The other guy answered his questions, and then he started asking his own questions. When he asked him about how he knew about the Company Elliot just kind of rolled his eyes. “Take a guess,” he said. He didn't intend to be…mean-ish today. But that’s just how he was, he couldn’t turn it on and off for long periods of time. “I work for Primatech too,” he told him.
Then he asked about if he knew about what certain individuals could do. He almost laughed, almost. “Well, that depends,” he told him. “Do you mean if they can do a hand stand with one hand and feed themselves with the other then no, I don’t know anyone who can do something like that. But if you mean doing something like this,” He held the business card between his thumb and index finger and within a couple of seconds it was frozen solid, covered in ice. “then yeah, I know about that.”
