He didn't have to be asked twice before taking the provided cup and thanked him with a soft tone. His eyes were down when he was thanked and it made him glance up to look at the man across from him. He smiled slightly though was a bit nervous if he said the wrong thing it would scare Father Richards and he'd leave. "Don't worry about it. You went through something scary and i want you to feel safe. I am happy to be here. Besides I've never had a chance to see this place." Elijah tried to chuckle softly but he tried to do it so quietly it almost was mistaken for a cough. "You don't need to say sorry though. I honestly am always happy to help you in any way I can. I respect you, and I am happy to spend time with you. Even if it's a moment." He relaxed in the chair to ease any tension the priest might have imagined in the room. "And this is good tea, thank your maid for me later."
