The context of the following conversation is Alex was always the fixer of the group, as such she quickly remedied the situation.:
Alex says The other day I had to smooth things over between Kendall and Riley because they got into another argument..
The friend responds It seems like those two are always arguing!.
Alex responds I know. I don't know why they even get together because they can never seem to agree. I had to calm them both down and get the conversation back on a good topic..
The friend responds Well at least you were there to try to calm them down, but like you said why do they even talk?.
Alex responds I will never understand that!.
The friend responds I just avoid them because I don't want to be in the middle of an argument..
