Eljay felt a little relieved, though he hoped that Trick was telling the truth. He smiled awkwardly as he tried to diffuse the panic rising in his heart and calm down his breathing so that he would feel normal again, but it was really hard. "Okay, yeah, good, thank you," he murmured and shot Trick an awkward smile, fear still showing in his ever-expressive eyes, while he tried to act normal and not look like a total fool.

Maybe he ought to talk to mommy and daddy about it, and his aunt and uncle, just to try and figure it out without literally saying it. It was worth a shot.
