"No," Elliot shook his head, "anti social is not exactly my type," Sol was actually closer, but Elliot also sensed something darker there that warned him off. It was possible he was just sensing the fact that the brunet was a vampire. He tried to imagine the tall redhead in front of them as an adorable little kid and just couldn't do it, but Sol had apparently known him since then. He could absolutely imagine Sol as a mischievous little tyke. Maybe if he got Sol to tell him more about Cal. The next best thing after actually talking to the man himself.<br/><br/>So Cal's family was important. That made sense though, they had given the newly bonded pair a house, but also no one was interested in pairing off with stray vampires. The Grams might have been well known in other circles, but not in any of Elliot's which meant he had no idea what those "interesting" views might be.<br/><br/>"Well kind of… Mostly I just agreed when it was asked of me…" the bond had been interesting and promising so he hadn't really considered turning it down, but now that Sol was asking he wasn't sure he'd actually had a choice. Amelia hadn't wanted him to go, stating that he was needed at home when he knew he wasn't not as much as she was.<br/><br/>"Honestly they volunteered me because I'm noble enough to be a fair trade and too weak a family to be a big loss if this doesn't end well," Wasn't much point in hiding that or pretending it wasn't true. Basically if Cal lost his cool and killed him there weren't exactly armies to back his mourners and the whole system wouldn’t fall apart. It didn't seem Cal killing him was actually a concern though.. If things went well, it could be good for his family having ties to an old vampire line. Among the humans there were people who needed this to succeed.
