Elijah was startled by the noises in the other side. "That sounded painful, are you alright?"

Since he continued, Elijah decided he must be fine. He took a moment to gather his thoughts before starting, but quickly getting to the point. "I.. I've taken a man into my home. I.. admit I've been lonely and I suppose.. desperate for a friend. But it's become more. We are.. alike in ..a way.. and becoming more than friends.. I suppose you could say. I haven't sinned with him.. but it is growing so tempting. And I don't wish to throw him out."
