Cedric was truly afraid of standing out and coming off strange. So what a wonderful relief it was to see that his answer was well received. In fact, Elliot’s face showed a splendid expression and how he responded made Cedric even more curious to know what exactly a cellphone was. The way Elliot put it, it sounded like a bad habit or something. All he knew was that whatever a cellphone is, a good thing or bad thing, he didn’t want to dwell on figuring it out too much. And that could be said for many things actually. Cedric was just going to take things as they were.<br/><br/>“Taken?” His eyebrows furrowed, but his expression quickly softened and he shook his head with a light laugh. “Oh no, I’m not Involved with any man yet.” He answered before flashing Elliot a dashing yet genuine smile. “There’s not a need to ask for pardon. How else would you get acquainted with a stranger without asking a nosy question or two?” Cedric asked the other teasingly. He leaned his back against the tree and relaxed his wide shoulders. As his eyes focused on Elliot his heart felt so light and happy.<br/><br/>At first Cedric questioned what being called interesting was supposed to mean. Again, he was fearful he seemed out of place, though the way Elliot spoke it was reassuring that he didn't mean it to be anything bad. “Thank you, might I say you’re intriguing as well.” Cedric complimented back.<br/><br/>“Perhaps you had lived before?” He suggested in a completely casual tone, but secretly he wanted to see if Elliot would even consider something so unbelievable. “You once rarely got to go outside and so now you cannot get enough of it?” Speaking, Cedric felt so sly, however, he questioned if the all the little hints he was beginning to throw would subconsciously cause something to click within the empty spaces of Elliot’s mind.<br/><br/>It was a bit of a surprise to see Charlie come up and sit in his lap. Even though he knew the pooch was extremely friendly, he still didn’t expect it. Though  before Cedric could touch Charlie’s fur or even have a chance to say that he didn’t mind his friendliness and that he loved dogs, Elliot came closer to take his pet off Cedric’s lap. His eyes fixed onto Elliot almost as if he were the only other person in the universe, and when their eyes connected, the spark that surged through Elliot ran right through Cedric. Is it just me? Maybe he was a little dense. Even if he could tell that Elliot obviously had some interest in him, he was unsure if he’d ever remember or if things would ever be the same. His faith was the only thing he could rely on right now. “What a good dog.” He said, reaching over to give the dog two pats on the head.<br/><br/>As he felt their many conversations were coming to an end, the way Elliot started made Cedric think he were about to say something discouraging, but luckily it was just what the king wanted to hear. His eyes lit up and a bright smile graced his lips once more.  “I’d love to.”
