Cal was a bit reassured when Elliot stated it smelled good… well, that was something. He had planned to return to reading his book, but when Elliot sat beside him to eat he couldn't help but wonder if the human had just picked a comfy seat or if he actually wanted to be close to the vampire… the latter just seemed like an odd thing to him though. He turned his eyes to his book and sipped his drink as the other ate, wondering if it was normal to sit this way. Did other people act so informal with each other? Probably.<br/><br/>He didn't look up again until Elliot spoke and showed him the sketch book. He looked it over for a long moment before giving a slight nod. "The stairs around there?" He said, making a motion to signify roughly where the store steps lie in the forest. He then turned his eyes back to his book but didn't continue reading. "I'm surprised you went that far. The path there isn't used anymore." He stated, he had only happened across it himself because he spent every visit here wandering the forest. "Are you going to draw it?" He then asked. He nearly considered asking the human something then… but he decided against it. It was enough just asking Elliot to give up living with his family as it was, and while most would probably say Cal was overthinking things… Actually, they wouldn't be wrong.
