Elijah nodded in agreement. The Longbottoms seemed unable to avoid trouble for long, he didn't know of a Maxwell Higgins. Maybe he would introduce himself and see if they were in need of help. "There are a number of them that are perfectly harmless. I will check it out later."

He tidied up his pile of papers and looked up at Aslan agreeing. "I honestly think it wouldn't hurt to have you there. You might have questions I won't, and I'm happy to have you around. Feels almost like we're partners sometimes." He chuckled and looked down at the papers before getting to his feet.

"Alright, I'll be back in a moment." He left the room cheerfully to make them some coffee. He didn't make it often, but luckily the coffee he had , had only been used once. He got it started as he put out the cups and put some cream in his own since it was a bit bitter for him sometimes compared to tea. As he waited, he looked over and he could smell the coffee, it was definitely hints of coffee. He poured it into their cups and his was pale but he had added cream. Seeing Aslan's plain it was not dark as it was when it was fresh but he had let it soak long enough it was darker than tea. "Perfect."

He hummed to himself as he brought it back and put it down. He sipped his own which was weak the way he was used to it. "Hope its to your taste."
