Elliot made it quite a distance before he stumbled and was forced to slow down to a more normal pace. Only then noticing that Levi was with him, always on duty. He sighed and offered a hand to carry the creature. When it obliged he gave it a gentle pat on the head and raised it to ride on his shoulder for the rest of the walk.<br/><br/>"This isn't what I thought it would be," He told the familiar with a sigh. Feeling frustrated he rubbed his eyes and blinked up at the moon.<br/><br/>Arriving back at the cabin, he let himself in and kicked off his shoes before addressing Levi, "Go play, I'm not going anywhere," After Levi disappeared he sighed and looked around the cabin. The walk had done little to make him feel better if anything he felt decidedly worse and wanted nothing more than to run away, but he couldn't. So instead he locked himself in the bedroom and sat down at the table in there. He found paper and a pen and began to write like he always did before crawling into bed much earlier than usual.
