“I don’t know about that. there are some pretty graceful people on this earth.” Eli said with a laugh before shrugging. “alright if you say so. But I still appreciate the help.” he said as he followed her to the aisle. “I mean....yeah I probably would need your help,” he admitted. “I’m not used to this. Where I’m from...things are an easier fix.” He would leave it at that. People got weird when he told her that he was actually a ragdoll. “You’re from the jungle? That’s so sick!” he said and shook her hand. “I’m Eli. I’m the kid of the Finkelsteins. I don’t know if you know who they are. They uh...we mostly stick to ourselves.”
