Toivo looked over to Elliot, and raised his eyebrows. This short kid wanted to join the basketball team? Toivo sat up a little straighter in his chair, and, well, this kid didn't look too bad. Maybe if he joined the team Toivo wouldn't hate it so much? And if this guy was an asshole, then he can spend his time hating whoever this was rather than hating basketball.

"Are you interested in joining? The basketball team could use someone quick on their feet," Toivo said, trying to sound at least a little bit flattering.
