He noted that the human seemed a bit startled by his appearance, but he merely waited as he watched him gather up all the pages he had scattered about. He nodded simply at the man's words, he figured that Elliot had been looking to have his hobby since his family had left. He didn't mind as the other looked him over, and Callan was fairly sure the other felt just as awkward as he did after earlier, but thankfully it was the human who brought it up.<br/><br/>Cal watched him quietly, seemingly coolly, but when the human finished he sighed softly and shook his head. "I apologize for what I said as well. I did not mean to say something that might startle you. So, my apologies." He gave a slight bow of his head, meaning his words sincerely even if they did sound a bit bland. He didn't want the human to fear him, he didn't want him thinking he couldn't have his family here to see him... But he had been so frustrated that yet another human seemed to just see him as some sort of beast.<br/><br/>"Shall I assist you back to your room?" He asked, motioning to the papers in the man's arms. He assumed that Elliot had stayed up just for this, and the human was probably rather tired by now. While Cal did have work to do... He could spare a few moments for the human sharing his home, just as he so often assured the other. He didn't mean to isolate Elliot... He just didn't know how else to interact with him than in this aloof manner.
