Tom left the busted up room and walked into the hall. He walked past a room and heard two people talking. He stood and eavesdropped on them without really meaning to. 'One male, one female, they care for each other. The male is a real tough guy.' He thought, learning as much as he could from them by listening to what they were saying. 'They're talking about Sam, he must have told them. He grew up, and became a man after all.'
Tom stood up and smelled the tea being brewing. 'I love tea.' He thought, seriously considering bothering them for tea. He raised his hand to knock on the door. He laughed. 'It's not like I bothering anything interesting.' He thought knocking on the door. "Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice that you were brewing tea. May I bother you for some?" He asked sounding polite and slightly snobby.
