<i>Salad? That is a really strange way of saying it. . . mmm. . . maybe he has a speech impediment of some sort? Odd. </i>Elliot didn't say anything and simply smiled as if Cedric didn't say anything oddly.  Besides, it was kinda cute with how he said it with such confidence.<br/><br/>The way the man looked away and suddenly he seemed so different when the mention of settling into his place.  Maybe there was a problem? Or perhaps he was frighten.  Elliot didn't want to push it and Elliot wanted to ask if he needed help or even if he had anywhere to sleep tonight.  Maybe he could get more information in a more sneaky way, though he might be over stepping his boundary.  But, there was no problem offering help, right?  Hopefully it wouldn't seem strange with just meeting someone for the first time today, there was something that not only drew him into Cedric's present, but a longing to help and in some sense "serve" the man.  It was hard to explain, it was hard to explain even further with the odd choice of words which sounded something like from a medieval time period.<br/><br/>Elliot smiled warmly as he opened his mouth to say something but suddenly lost his voice as he found their eyes locking together.  His heart pounding wildly in his chest and he felt his face brighten up.  It was as if Cedric knew everything about him and that Cedric not only knew him, but there was a deep connection in which for Elliot felt as though they were connected in a way which Elliot himself felt was beyond his own current life time.  "Ah, well thats good.  I know how hard it is to move, so if you ever want help with anything please feel free to ask.  Never feel embarrassed about asking for anything from me.  Okay?"<br/><br/>Elliot covered his mouth to muffle a chuckle as he watched Cedric somewhat play with the napkin dispenser.  With a slight smile he chuckled as he watched Cedric further.<i>Hes really cute. . . heh, kinda like a kid. </i>Elliot thought to himself before taking a sip from the glass of water which they had been given.<br/><br/>As their food arrived the young man took his meal and began to try it before looking back to Cedric "That looks really yummy, oh hey, do you wanna try some of my pasta? Its something new they recently added to their menu."
