George looked at her for a long moment. Finally he replied, 'And why do you find it so hard to think someone might like you and want to do things for you? That's the way of friendship, lad.'
Alanna shook her head. 'But I haven't done anything for you.'
'That's not how it works,' the thief said dryly."
