He yelps and jumps forward, away from it
`` I- I- I-..... what are you ?? Did He send you?? I didn't do anything bad this time, I don't understand............ do you come from the Dreamlands-- ?? ``
He's rambling, clearly scared
Elijah's face turned white upon seeing its teeth.
... why would this strange creature even need sharp teeth like that ???
He began distancing himself from this........ thing
He watches in shock almost horror as he eats the metal can.. unsure how to respond to all of this...... Elijah already had his suspiciouns that the man before him wasn't human but for it to reveal that so casually certainly took him aback.
`` How did you-- how... you-- ``
" eh dude, it's fine- "
[ looking at the empty. A arm morphs and slowly stretches out, snagging a can from him. ]
" I can eat this- "
[ the second it finished talking, it popped the can into its mouth, starting to eat the can. ]
He returns with a bunch of empty cans and an apologetic look..
`` I- I'm sorry it took so long I just... I really don't know who you are and- I- I had to feed the cats and... this is all just so sudden, do you understand ? ``
He keeps bowing his head
`` It has already lost its meaning from the amount that you use it for... ``
Elijah's smile vanished once more as he sighed.
`` You keep giving me such a scare whenever you're here.... First it's the lies then it's literal danger then you- you show up here... with Him ``
[ + ]
can't help but frown out of worry as he hears the other man laugh. He feels guilty — he only blames himself, though he really should blame Elijah, too.
⠀⠀ `` I....I’m sorry, Elijah. I don’know how many times I can say this till it means nothing t’you.... ``
He covered his face. The fact that he was holding back tears was already clear on his voice...
`` Sometimes it feels like you're an aspect of my life *designed* to make me go mad ``
`` More like a hungry cat... `` , he mutters and sets down the bag of cat dryfood he brought out
`` You'll need to wait for a moment, okay? I need to take care of the strays for now.. ``
He begins putting the cat food into the set out bowls, some cats already walking up to him
`` Sorry do we.... know each other ? Or... why... why are you talking to me ``
Oh, he's a like a crumpled up ball of stress. Looking at it with big sad eyes....
He doesn't want to be here.......
" ou shit, what you got? "
[ blinking it's eyes at him, tilting it's head as it questioned the other. ]
" I can eat about likee... anything! "
[ smile. ]
`` ... uh... yeah ? ``
He frowns again, nervous about what they might ask next...
He didn't really prepare to be social with anyone today. Today was a normal day where he would keep to himself, read, cook, write and now...
[ + ]
Elijah paused, the fear completely leaving his body upon such an odd question...
`` Sorry ? ... C- cabbage ? ..... Why would you need -- no I don't have cabbage.. ``
He was now more confused than scared..p
He was just leaving his apartment to feed the stray cats as he does and he was already regretting this decision simply by seeing this... thing.
It honestly almost looked like a stray cat itself
`` C- can I...? Can I help you ? ``
He raises an eyebrow, unnerved
Elijah couldn't help but always be surprised in moments like these.... No matter the situation, Daniel always was able to push through somehow...
One couldn't help but wonder whether it was bravery that kept him alive or if it was foolishness that made him keep going.
[ + ]
he had no reason to be polite to Hastur.
“ And what does Eliasz think? You are so very selfish, Daniel. „
Daniel knows he is.⠀⠀ `` ...He don’need to answer ye. ``
..What else would he be doing?
He pauses.
`` Oh, Daniel, look at what you've done! I'm losing it. You're making me question EVERYTHING. ... Is that what you wanted ?? ``
A small smile tugs at his lips as he tries to make sense of Daniel's logic.
