She felt like he liked the song more than he let on. The story of his buddy Bumbles made her smile. Picturing a cat yowling in time to the music was a meme worthy of the net, she assumed someone out there had done it and reconciled herself to searching for it someday.<br/><br/>Devon made reference to Cleo wrapping herself around him and missing it. Elsa nodded and quietly said,<strong>"Oh, I'm sure you do."</strong>A knowing smirk on her face as she imagined any man would probably miss that. For her own part, Elsa was more the little spoon type. He continued on giving his explanation of what led him out to find her. Not only did he seem like the sympathetic ear of the barkeep world but he also had a soft spot for wounded animals like Elsa. It was very endearing and she listened attentively to his explanation. For all his metal head exterior, she picked him as a big softy. Which also explained his reaction during the secrets challenge.<br/><br/>Elsa said,<strong>"You're right. That's what I like about those songs. I feel like the artists behind the songs actually felt the lyrics they are singing. Which is why I usually don't like cover songs that much. It always feels to me like they are just paying homage to the song but it lacks the original emotion and artistic intent. Some are good but very few."</strong>She flopped back down onto her back, head in her pillow as she stared up at the sky.<strong>"Singing them or listening to them when I feel like this helps give me perspective. Reminds me of bigger life moments and other emotions. I've been so wrapped up in this place that I lost sight of the bigger picture for a little while..."</strong>There was a pause here as she weighed words. Knowing what this place was like, it was all to often that someone would say one thing and it would burn through the villa like a wildfire and soon reach every ear. The form and context of things said rarely maintaining their original intent. She finally understood why so many others on the show had fumbled and quickly found themselves embroiled in the drama of it all.<strong>"I've felt lonely here. And the closest that I had to a human connection here was my date last night who did not express an interest in me. Worse, he was the first person here to be rude to me. In front of everyone no less. It made me feel very small. I mean I let myself feel very small because of it. It's just this place, the scope of the loneliness isn't easy to see from the outside but I know you've had it for a little while too. Feels like everyone around you is coupling up and making things happen. Anyways, that's all I've had to go on so far and it's a bit hard to bare. Thank you for coming to talk to me though. Because now, here you and I are being all introspective in the dead of night. I think that is the correct word, introspect. To reflect on yourself and your place of being. Yes? English is my second language. I don't always choose the correct words."</strong>She glanced over to him for a sign that she had choose the correct word. There was pause in case he wanted to interject before she continued.<br/><br/><strong>"Don't get me wrong. I was excited to be here and I still am. Even this loneliness is an experience. That's really what I came here for. That whole experience and adventure of it all. We'll never get another opportunity like this one again. Even climbing a mountain can be lonely and humbling. So maybe this is what I needed?"</strong>She looked over at him again, studying his eyes. He seemed really genuine and she wanted to say more to him but she didn't know him well enough yet to tell him her secrets. She had already tried the whole opening up the previous evening to a boy and that didn't end so well. She was a little more guarded this time around, especially since he was just a friendly ear. This wasn't a date or anything, was it? Maybe this whole place was  just one communal date? It was to much of a head trip for her to think about.<br/><br/>Elsa said,<strong>"I have to ask something of you... Can I braid your hair? Just a little bit of it behind the ear? Unless you're brave, I could make you look like a viking and braid it all."</strong><br/><br/>
