"Clohse, but noh. Ah spen muhnee ahn thm bekahs ah vuu thm as frens."

(Close, but no. I spend money on them because I view them as friends.) Rune pause for a brief moment as he tries to explain his trail of thought when it comes to friendship.

"Iis like... 'givin th'beniifit of th'daut, ah think. If'n yuu give sumwen th'ahppurtunity t'be frens, they us'lly are."

(It's like... giving the benefit of the doubt, I think. If you give someone the opportunity to be friends, they usually are.) Rune half shrugs and continues to smile.

"Thas mah exp'rience, aht lees."

(That's my experience, at least.)
