Elijah smiled, still not bothered. "Hey, it's the little steps that matter. I don't think you'll suddenly change being yourself, but it's something!" He heard the sigh and glanced at Anthony, but still didn't feel like speaking to him. He was the one that left Elijah, not the other way around. He turned to speak to Wesley. "I am getting him more soup, but I still think you should let them go."

Wesley waved him off, "Fine, you can get the soup. But I'm not letting them go." He gestured to Anthony then Noah, "He hasn't been here very long, and he is withholding evidence on a case. Besides, he acts afraid of being caught by the guys who hurt him, so he's safer here."

Elijah sighed heavily and gave Noah an apologetic look.
