Pepper: she nodded. "I just wish we were able to spend more time with Eli and Penny..." She was worried sick about Eli. Eli: "There's this guy that was friends with this girl. Then this other guy came along and started dating the girl, and the first guy said he was fine with it. After time, the guy realized that maybe he does have feeling for the girl, but doesn't want to make things awkward with the girl, or seem like he's trying to steal the other guy's girlfriend. What should the guy do? Again, this is /completely/ metaphorical." OOC: Please don't have Gordon figure out who Eli is talking about, other than Eli is probably the first guy. If you really want to, you can have Gordon figure out the situation though.
