Eli and Desmond walked towards Maddi.  Elijah was suspicious of her, since the last time they met, she threatened to kill him, but he tried not to let it show.  He knew that this was Maddi's way of trying to subdue them:  Food and teasing.<br/><br/>"I will say that our last meeting was less than genial.  I apologize for that.  I assure you that it looked far worse than it was when we last met.  I said it then and I will repeat it now, I have no interest in hurting anyone.  Why would I want to hurt anyone that I may have to spend a few years with?"<br/><br/>Elijah took her hand and lightly shook it.<br/><br/>"Thank you for the dinner invite.  I don't think you met ever met my dead friend Desmond.  As Miracle Max said, 'He's only mostly dead.'" Elijah chuckled.  "At any rate, he hasn't eaten in more than a day, so I am certain that your food will be a lifesaver to him.  And I will tell you what.  Since you are being so very generous with your offerings, I will offer you this."<br/><br/>Elijah handed Maddi a small bottle of hooch.<br/><br/>"Let's have a drink and catch up with what's been going on."<br/><br/>Elijah took his plastic water bottle of hooch and took a sip and grimaced.  "It's a little rough."  He then helped Desmond to a seat by the fire and handed him some of the delicious smelling food.
