It was unsettling having what appeared to be a child call him a child, but Elliot certainly was not going to argue with her. Besides she wasn't wrong, he had no idea what was considered normal with vampires as he had never spent any real time with any aside from Callan. He frowned, looking down at his hands in his lap. Only a decade… so he really was starving himself. He understood better why Sol wanted him to help get Cal to change his ways, but there wasn't much he could do about it all. Callan was smart, he knew what he was doing to himself… all because of that servant from long ago. Elliot almost resented being in this position, he wanted to help, but Cal didn't want it. Did he even really see it as an issue? Was the vampire just content to wither away? Elliot almost asked what would happen if Callan died on him, but the girl went on.<br/><br/>He looked up at her, eyes dark with worry, he obviously knew how close he'd come to killing himself. He'd been forced to rely on Callan coming for him, but he realized now that Callan could have very easily been unable to help him. Waiting until dark wasn't too big a deal with a broken ankle… but… he startled when Callan cleared his throat from the doorway.<br/><br/>After Iris left Elliot let out a sigh, shifting some in the bed. It didn't seem like Callan was interested in talking further about all of that. Instead he just switched over to caring for Elliot who didn't argue.<br/><br/>"Yeah… I can eat," he wasn't particularly hungry, but figure it couldn't hurt. He sighed and moved back to sit against the headboard and drink some water. He sighed again tilting his head back to gaze up at the ceiling while Callan went to get food. Everyone he encountered regarding Callan had something to say about his eating habits and the servant. Elliot couldn't help but feel like he was expected to fix it, but hadn't a clue how he was supposed to do that. It wasn't fair. When Callan returned Elliot offered a small smile in thanks, "I'm sorry… I was being childish before… I realize we've both gone into this with different ideas as to how it should all work,"<br/><br/>He was exhausted after the evenings excitment, but felt like he needed to open some communication. Though for now he couldn't really challenge the way Callan thought their relationship should work. It wasn't hurting him, not really, to just let the other take care of him like he wanted to, maybe that's what Cal needed?
