Elijah blushed at the compliment and brought up his menu so no one would notice, hopefully. "Ah, thank you.. really." He looked at the menu briefly while hiding behind it, he didn't know what anything was so he gently placed it down. "I'll have whatever you recommend.."

His eyes returned to Zechariah and he became quite curious. "Oh? Well, as long as they are paying you for your time. You're too valuable to be wasted on such things but if the money is good..."

He idly glanced away and smiled though it was just a natural reaction to cover his embarrassment. "She works at the Pony. I tried to get her to talk to me but she hid away and people thought I was a jilted lover or a stalker. So I eventually gave up. I may find her later elsewhere since I know her cousins and uncle well. It's a little humiliating."
