Elijah continued to look on with furrowed eyebrows, he had every intention of pretty much waltzing up to the pair while making his way down the building just seconds ago, but he completely lost his nerve. The boy was having a tug of war, his brain was telling him to make a run for it- pretend he had seen nothing and forget about it... but his heart told him to stay. He yearned for human interaction, just something that'd at least open its mouth to warmly greet you with an 'hello' when it saw you- those words alone could definitely make him the happiest guy alive.  Eli was too caught up in his own head but sudden commotion from the small group of zombies only meters away from him brought him out of it. One of the zombies heads flung back, blood from the creature now splattered out on to the road behind it  and it only took a second longer for it's body to drop. Elijah could only watch on with widened eyes as the others fell like flies. He quickly pulled his head back so now he was entirely behind the brick wall, those walkers were undoubtedly sniped- a bullet through each of their skulls- on target every time... and it was done so quickly.<br/><br/>The light haired male squeezed his eyes shut while taking deep breaths to calm himself, he then opened them and slowly peered behind the brick wall- the girl out of the pair looked to be distressed in his eyes. He watched as she frantically began to scan the area which let Elijah know the sniper wasn't with them. He continued to watch until her hazel eyes met with his grey ones. 'Fuck!' he thought, clearly he was no longer just an onlooker, completely unaware the one that had shot those things had actually seen him too. ''Uh w-wait!'' Elijah shouted though not meaning it, ''please.'' He insisted, though this time minding the level of his tone. He wasn't sure what he was doing- not even what he was going to say, he just didn't want them to leave. The boy had his hands up and tried to appear as nonthreatening as possible- he didn't want them to get the wrong idea. Elijah now had both feet on the road but he didn't dare get any closer, instead he took in the couples faces and thought of his next move.<br/><br/>''I'm Eli,'' he stated deciding to settle for Delphine as the one to talk with. ''I've honestly been watching you for awhile now-'' the boy silently scolded himself for that line- ''I mean, I've been watching you both, not for very long though... I was looting that building.'' one of the hands he was still holding up gestured to the apartment complex behind him, ''That's when I saw you two, I'm gonna be honest it... it was a pleasant surprise, I can't believe you're real.'' he said shamelessly, a little seemingly immature too seeing as that sniper was probably still around.<br/><br/>Little did the four know, all the commotion- be it from Elijah's careless greeting or the odour from the deer, they had attracted more zombies a couple blocks from them, silently gathering and heading in there direction.
