<strong>Elijah heads back</strong><br/><br/>Elijah gave a good reckoning in the search department, but perhaps Desmond didn't currently want to be found.  Elijah at least let Desmond know that his presence was requested at the party and that was all he could do.  Slowly, as it was beginning to get dark, Elijah made his way back down to the beach where the two ladies were getting ready to party.  Standing in the dusk outside the circle of light thrown by the fire, Elijah stopped to just watch the two ladies for a while.  Maddi had changed clothes.  She had looked naturally delicious during naked day, but now there was an air about her.  She was flirty and seductive.  Elijah's heart was still tender, he didn't know how to approach her again.<br/><br/>Finally, like a dark curtain he had to press through, he stepped into the light letting the island dusk close around behind him.  He stood there for a moment and then as the girls noticed him, he put on a brave front.  Shrugging, he stepped towards them.  "I couldn't find Des.  But wherever he chose to hide himself, he is definitely aware there is a party to be had."  Elijah paused.  "Sorry, Kira.  I tried."  Elijah couldn't think of what else to say and so went over to the fire and sat at one of the makeshift seats he had arranged.  He stared into the flames, and was finally rescued by his nose.  Elijah began slowly, "Maddi...the food smells really good.  Thank you for cooking."
