Elias rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed. "Well, can't the two of you arrange a date? I'm running out of ideas. You're a great friend; help me get set up!"

Lukas chuckled, "Don't worry. When the time is right, I'll take you out to dinner."

Elias responded with a thumbs up and a playful gunshot, "Pew pew! Oh, Lukas! I knew I could count on you!"

Lukas just smiled.

Elias leaned back on the sofa and rested his hands on the arms of the couch. "Do you have time for lunch? Let's eat together."

Lukas was unfazed as he replied, "I have a lunch date with my girlfriend."

Elias raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "Wow, your adaptability is impressive! Now your wife is your girlfriend!"

Lukas gave him a mysterious look, "You don't understand, this means a change in our relationship."

Elias nearly choked on his own laughter. He put on a look of defeat and said, "Fine! You win, I surrender! You're driving me crazy today. I'm leaving. Let all those who want to hear your girlfriend's retorts come and hear them. I can't take any more of it!"
