Elijah smiled sadly. "I only saw him after I came back from York. I don't think it was even six months before.. " his voice died and he looked down. "Well.. ah..he never mentioned his friends. I know he mentioned someone but nothing about who they were just a friend I guess he was hoping to go to York with."

Was this friend more than a friend? Most likely, but he hoped no one else knew anything about this and he couldn't guarantee.
