None of them actually knew the appropriate response. Elliot hadn't wanted the bond exactly. He had obviously known that Callan didn't want it either given the vampire's 'vegetarian' status, but he had not explicitly stated it before now, but his aversion to feeding from human's was not the reason given. It seemed again that Callan was more worried about him and once more the conversation with Sol floated up in Elliot thoughts. That same uncertain feeling over Callan not taking from him arose again. No one in this room actually wanted the bond. Just a big political move that they had been forced into, but they still had to deal with it. "That doesn't sound very fun..." Lucy answered after a moment glancing down when Carter took her hand.<br/><br/>"These arrangement's aren't always the best," Amelia replied almost apologetically, "Thank you for taking the time to dine with us," It was quiet again for a short while after that. Elliot sighed regretting having made Callan join them. The baby upstairs chose then to start screaming and Lucy excused herself to take care of him. Annie decided it was her turn to talk between bites she happily told them about the rude girl she and Izzy took lessons with back home. It didn't take long for the awkwardness to pass, but they did leave Callan to his wine.
