Cerulean Cape No Reason Letting Her Live

The guy laughed? At first, Elijah was a little confused. Concerned that maybe the guy took the compliment the wrong way. From the looks of his tail the guy was amused in a good way? Elijah's expression lightened into a gentle smile, proud that things looked like they were coming along finally! He shot a thankful look in the direction of the helpful woman who cleared the air a bit, his smile growing faintly with gratitude. 

Then the guy complimented Elijah in return! Okay, now he knew things were going well! His tail fluttered faster, proud that he too was 'pleasing to this guy's eye' even if Elijah's original compliment was just to break the ice. Despite the little bump in the road causing some confusion and well... some awkwardness between them all, it all seemed to work out in the end! Really? He gasped! You'd spar with me? And it was an honour too!

Oh jeez, Elijah really felt his luck had turned now!
