Elijah was surprised by the sudden autonomy in the priest's action and words. He pulled his hand back and nodded. "Of course.. do you want me to walk you there to make sure you make it safely? I know I pulled you away from your work. I do apologize.." He had a sinking feeling the man was going back to acting strange and pushing him away. He wondered if his show of gratitude was too much and the man was bothered by his presence again. It was dizzying being treated so nicely and then coldly within seconds. He wished he had never told the man anything, then it wouldn't have been like this.
