Elijah was happy to see the boys and didn't mind their lack of familiarity. He replied politely and friendly in kind.

After the pleasant dinner he found himself walking alongside Ben with his hands politely folded behind his back. He looked at the man curiously. "York? Oh.. you mean why I didn't remain? They said I wasn't tough enough on the criminals. I was too soft for the city.. better situated to being back home where murder is a rarity and it's mostly drunks and domestic squabbles.." He sighed hanging his head.
