Cal awoke sometime after the sun had set and the world outside was dark. He sat up and had been about to fetch Elliot but noticed the other's shoes were gone from the doorway. He sighed, but there was little to be done for it. He spent the next while cleaning up the cabin a bit, washing dishes and making a pile of the bit of laundry they'd made to bring home and wash when they eventually left.<br/><br/>Once that was done he returned to the couch to read, deciding to remain at the cabin until Elliot returned. Perhaps it would be best to just pretend that conversation never happened... He thought that would surely be best, so he was thinking he would offer to make the male something to eat when he did come back to at least attempt to make up for it just a little. He wondered if Elliot was right in just trying to make it work... But what did that even mean? Being friends? Sure, the bonding process had probably been meant for lovers originally, or maybe it was just meant to provide vampires with a longer-lived food source... Either way, Cal wasn't sure he could think of Elliot as the former, and surely not the latter. So then... What did "working" mean? Was it not okay as it was now? Well, after last night it probably wasn't.
