Elijah could feel the man freeze up. He wanted to apologize and explain it was to help lead him back quickly, but he decided to remain quiet. He was relieved when they arrived without issues and helped him inside. He looked curiously at the man.

"I would like to check around so you can be assured no one's there. But if you want me to immediately leave..." He wanted to stay and keep an eye out for him to make sure he felt safe but he worried that the man wouldn't want him around with the strange way he acted around him.
