Elijah shook his head. "Don't mind me. I am alright, I am concerned for you. I can't blame you for wanting to go. I left because it was my best chance at opportunity. And if family life is hard, it is good to separate, at least for a while. But..Simon.."

He started to rub his gloved hands together anxiously. "It isn't just the money. You need to decide what you will do there. It can be a place for work but it is a crowded busy place so opportunity can be tricky at first. The worst part is.. whatever caused last night to happen.. could happen again. The big city can be dangerous, more so than here. If you go, you can't return to these problems. And if having a hard time in the city can cause it, you'll be where you are here but in a bigger place with no friends or family to pick you up. Understand ?" He looked hopeful he understood.
