I'm sure your mum would if your housing would allow it.

[ The amount of lies he's going to tell this boy just to keep him calm is probably going to be appalling. If Eggsy remembers any of this once he grows up again he'll never hear the end of it. ]

Priscilla is visiting a friend of mine, we'll fetch her first. JB and Stark are already waiting to meet you in the room you'll be staying in while you're here.

[egglet]

That's what she says.

[Which just further confirms that Harry is speaking on his mum's behalf.]

You have three dogs? [Eggsy looks up at Harry as if he's not only the luckiest, but coolest man he's ever met.] What's JB mean?

[wordstoliveby]

JB is short for Jack Bauer. It's the name of a movie character someone very dear to me likes.

[ He continues his way through the halls, Eggsy held close. ]

Tell me Eggsy, what's your favorite subject in school?

[egglet]

[Eggsy has no idea who Jack Bauer is but he likes dogs and they can have any name and still be nice.]

Maths. Mum helps me with my numbers so that when Dad comes home I can show him how good I've gotten.

[He also like science and practicing his letters in French.]

What's yours?

[wordstoliveby]

[ Ouch. ]

I'm sure you're very good at them. I always enjoyed my science classes.

[ He smiles wryly and lowers his voice like he's telling Eggsy a secret. ]

But I was always best at PE. I was always too restless when I was your age.

[egglet]

What was your favorite thing to do?

[Eggsy drops his head to Harry's shoulder, playing with the edge of his collar.]

Runnin'? Playing soccer?

[He likes PE, too.]

Can we be friends? We like the same stuff.

[wordstoliveby]

I rather enjoyed running. And cricket, too.

[ He smiles and then reaches up with his free hand to ruffle Eggsy's hair. It's a travesty that this little boy got so badly treated by the world. ]

I'd be honored to be friends with you, Eggsy. I'm sure we'll have great fun while you're here.

[egglet]

I love runnin'. Mum says I'm real fast.

[He grins up at his best friend, wishing he had glasses, too. They make glasses for kids, and he'd like a pair.]

We can do all sorts of things, yeah? Whatever you want.

[Eggsy was right to ask Harry to be friends with him. His mum always tells him to trust his gut, he's got Unwin blood running through his veins. He doesn't know what all that means, but he thinks it means that if he doesn't feel like Harry will hurt him, he probably won't.]
