Elijah never understood why cute men hitting him with ‘Technically…’ and then coming up with a long tangent had made him so enamored. If he had a nickel for every time that happened, he would only have two nickels. It was weird, though, that it had happened twice. The strangeness of it did not stop Elijah from staring at this man and rapidly developing a blush. Unfortunately for everyone else in the room, his ‘helmet’ covered his face, which meant he read as just silently, emotionlessly staring at poor Lilian.

It took Li clearing his throat for Elijah to snap out of his stupor. He was slightly disappointed by Li brushing it off as ‘science crap’. It was a rather intelligent and fascinating argument. He poorly forced a chuckle. [color=#9d9751]”Ah, yes. Breaking through windows is not my preference but it would be nice to reduce the amount I have to do that, wouldn’t it?”[/color]

[color=#ed6885][i]That was stupid. You didn’t even add anything to the conversation. Say something better. You’re supposed to know how to interact with people. [s]It’s no wonder mom made you stay out of fancy events for being such a mess.[/s][/i][/color]

Elijah quickly nibbled on another donut, attempting to think of ways to break the silence. [color=#9d9751]”Sssso… yeah. Super speed would make my job a lot easier. Especially with uh… all the reasons you listed."[/color]
