Elijah shook his head and smiled. "Than you are just being a considerate priest, not friends. I feel that way for almost everyone in town I pass. Even the drunks that I sometimes have to help get home or they start a fight and I put them in a cell for the night. I want the best for them and for them to improve their lives. I do not think of them as friends, though I do think of them as good people in a bad place."
