...Can you tell me how old he is, or is that a no?

[cyclists]

I believe that is a question best answered by him, if you are able to gently lead the conversation to it.

[foodbin]

Does he not like talking about it, or...?

[cyclists]

[there is a soft laugh]

He is young enough to be considered inexperienced by others in some ways - but simply offer him the benefit of the doubt if you do speak with him about it.

I believe that he is perfectly capable of helping you all, and could not ask for a better partner in this.

[foodbin]

Got it. Don't be condescending or make him feel insecure.

[She pauses for a moment.]

Did you know each other before this...?

[cyclists]

[a shake of their head]

We became acquainted in the two weeks before the rest of you arrived.

It was very peaceful, and he was so very full of questions.

[foodbin]

...I wouldn't expect it to be peaceful. Although, I guess it would be hard to tell anything was wrong here if we just judging by the location.
