Elijah shook his head. "No one needs me here. I try to help those who seem most in need and they treat me like I'm either a coward or useless. The paper is making people who don't even know me against me. And Wesley.." He sighed feeling like he was going to cry. He hung his head low in his hands. "He wasn't like this back at the academy. And he is well liked there. I.. I have to believe this is just him acting out to try to scare people. Put out a bad name for himself so people behave. I can't.. I just have to not imagine he'll do anything extreme. It'll be.. fine. It has to be." Things would have only gotten worse if it was just him, and he didn't want to admit Wesley was his fault. He was well decorated in York. He just had to believe this was all for show and it would settle down in a week.
