Just after Elijah asked Beau about the Dark Guilds, Christina walked over and snagged one of the jobs off of the board asked him if he'd maybe join her after the job. He was hesitant before replying and peered at the request paper. He wasn't one for being easily distracted but Dark Guilds started to fade in to the back of his thoughts and a nice coffee break sounded pretty reasonable. Decoding ancient scripts wasn't exactly the type of job Elijah would usually take, but he wasn't the one taking the job. He wondered about joining her afterwards, it sounded like it would be a good time. Elijah glanced up, moving his eyes from the paper to Christina, "Hmm, sounds like it would be a good time and I guess I deserve a little bit of a break," Elijah replied, his voice seemed to be a little less serious and more upbeat. It was always nice to hear that his guild mates wanted to 'hang out', "Yeah, that's a deal! Where's that job request at anyway, here in Magnolia?" He couldn't turn down the offer of getting to know one of the other Mage's of Fairy Tail, he was usually too busy, or mad himself too busy, to just enjoy the guild for a longer amount of time. He usually only stayed in town for a couple of days. 
Elijah looked back up at the request board, there only appeared to be a couple of jobs out of town, most were in the city or just on the outskirts. There were none that actually peaked his, so therefore none about Dark Guilds, though he had actually forgotten that that's why he had come to the request board in the first place. He peered back at Christina, wondering about the job she had taken.
