When the other spoke Cal furrowed his brow but didn't look at the human. He decided not to say that he didn't think they'd have to live through the entire bond this way, or at least it was likely one of them wouldn't. If he kept going the way he was then... He noted the human had packed his things away and stood, the other's words making him feel as though he'd said something he definitely shouldn't have. He didn't move though, and he didn't say anything further, it was probably best to simply leave things at that and pretend that they hadn't talked about it at all. Avoidance was something the vampire was rather good at.<br/><br/>"I'll be back later." He finally said as Elliot began down the path, Cal simply wanting some time alone. Levi had been watching from close by and scurried after Elliot without needing to be told, knowing that his duty was to be with Elliot anytime that Cal wasn't. Cal wondered if perhaps he should form another contract for a familiar to stay with Elliot at all times... Well, it might not be a poor idea, but he would need to wait until after they returned home and he was able to take another meal. For now, though he stood and began walking, deciding to wander until the sun would force him back to the cabin for the day. He wanted to clear his mind just a bit.
