Simon giggled. "Oh? What sort of person could you see me with that wouldn't have your approval?" To be fair, he could see it. Elijah so desperate for someone he overlooked all of their misdeeds and bad habits.

Simon shrugged. "One that doesn't treat you right. Doesn't treat you with respect."

Elijah smiled more. "I appreciate you looking out for me. Let's hope if I ever fall for someone, he isn't like that."

"I'll kick his ass if he is." Simon said, hypocritically.

He couldn't help but laugh. "Please, no violence. There is far too much of it. I think you can just convince me not to stay with someone like that."

"If he mistreats you, he ought to be tossed off a cliff." Simon commented, "but for your sake, I'd let him go..."

Elijah smiled and saw the home just up ahead. "I'm grateful you care so much for my happiness. Does that mean I am allowed to judge your love too? He sounds fantastic, but I wouldn't mind making sure he was treating you as well as he seems to."

"One day..." Simon said, not sure if that day would ever come. (It wouldn't.) "If he's okay with it. You are a constable after all."

Elijah immediately was curious. "He doesn't like constables?" True, most didn't. But they almost always had a reason.

Simon stopped walking. "Isn't it a criminal offence?"
