Elijah almost agreed, but then shook his head. " It is alright. You kids can think of this as a treat, you have more space to sleep." He worriedly rubbed his hands together. They were like little brothers to him, but he still wasn't sure they'd be comfortable if they saw his scars since he avoided it around them as well. It would break his heart if the kids were frightened to have him so near. It would also have been too uncomfortable to try to sleep all covered up. "This wouldn't be the first or last time I slept on the sofa. I'll be perfectly alright." He smiled weakly and went to check on the stew which needed a little seasoning.
