Elijah nearly panicked when she cried. He had seen people cry but never someone so close. He hugged her and shook his head. "I-it's ok. I.. don't know why you're crying. B-but it's ok. Cry it out..t-then we can talk. A-alright?" His arms weren't too tight so if she didn't want him hugging her, as his mind spun. Was it just stress? Was there something going on he didn't know about? Someone upsetting her? He worried but didn't want to ask her anything until she was ready.
