[ It's been a long time since Elena felt so alone and helpless. Even with Jon waiting in their bed, she feels desperately alone, the incident in the woods bringing up all sorts of things that she simply can't talk about with him. There are so many things they share, emotions and stories and support, but this can't be one of them. So to have Eliot reaching out like this now, to know that he's truly offering her this lifeline...
She sniffles loudly and pulls herself up off the floor, rubbing at the moisture in her eyes before picking up her lantern. ]
I'm at the inn. There's no one downstairs...
[ This would be better in her apartment or somewhere else hidden from view, but at least for now they won't have an audience. Hopefully, that won't change. ]
[ he knows that fear too, so his first words are to stop it before it gets very far. ]
I can cast a muting charm around us. [ and he leaves it at that. ] Be there in a few.
[ though only after he gets some things first. he grabs his satchel, a couple mugs and boxes of tea. refilling the canteen, he tucks that away too before throwing on his coat and trotting swiftly out the door.
he arrives as he says, a few minutes later, slightly winded, but no less concerned. the invincible is the most obvious choice for seating, so he looks for her there first. ]
[ She's surprised by how quickly he arrives, the little light of his lantern coming through the door feeling as bright as the sun. Back in a corner booth where they'll be out of the way, she still has the faded blue blanket wrapped around her shoulders like a shawl, covering the leggings and tank top she'd worn as pajamas. Her feet are a bit cold, bare against the floor because she hadn't thought to get shoes, but she doesn't care.
Lifting her lantern, she smiles genuinely, though it's small and worn. ]
