Chuckling the young man offered his plate by pushing it towards the man and when he watched the man he thought Cedric was on the edge of crying.  Though he seemed more than happy and it made Elliot soften up more towards the man.  He was cute in a way that Elliot wasn't able to say why it attracted him.<br/><br/>"Of course.  Its my pleasure, Cedric." he smiled before returning to his meal and began to eat up.  As the man began to speak up Elliot looked up from his plate and watched as the man seemed to fumble around the issue he wanted to speak about.  Those eyes showed so much emotion and Elliot could read them clearly, slowly he reached over and took the man's hand as to try to relax him.  "Its okay, say whats on your mind." his voice tender and understanding, much like how he would speak to grieving pet owners or how he would speak to children back in his other life whenever they would come to visit the king and were frighten of the man.<br/><br/><i>Oh no.  </i>Elliot frowned a bit, but it quickly changed into a smile "Well then, please come to my home! This may be a safe city, but still better safe than sorry." Elliot said happily as he rubbed the back of Cedric's hand with his thumb "I won't take<i>no </i>as a answer either." Elliot said cheerfully as he tried to make the situation better or at most less uncomfortable.  Although Elliot didn't feel uncomfortable, it was as if he was returning a favor from long ago.  In his past life Elliot had switch around homes within the kingdom and often he would come home after long nights of working.  It wasn't until he met Cedric and they fall in love when he found him home-till he felt as though he was very much not only loved but also wanted and protected.<br/><br/>To try to make Cedric feel better he ensured it wouldn't be a problem and he had a spare bedroom for Cedric to sleep in and that it would be nice to have more than just his friendly dog to keep his company.  Besides, he'd want someone to show him kindness if he didn't have a home to be in.  Elliot never looked away and he didn't want to look away.  "I promise its no trouble. Please, and if you need somewhere to stay I'd be more than happy to help you and I want to make sure you're safe."<br/><br/>Removing his hand from Cedic's the man leaned forward and brushed Cedric's hair back.<br/><br/>-------------------------------<br/><br/>After paying for their meal the young man found himself showing Cedric around more until he lead him into the small artist alley which had much more space compared to the food part of the fair.<br/><br/>"Oh wow." Elliot was looking at a painting of a forest setting, river running though and sunshine peeking though the thick brush.  "This looks so pretty. . . man, I wish I could go hiking."
