Redhawk Caldera Don't don't bother Luke.

Eljay remained in the hug until Lilitu herself took distance again. He didn't feel pressured at all by all of this; sometimes emotions just needed to get out. He was no strange to these feelings, himself. Despite the fact that he'd think the same, Eljay did not actually feel like Lilitu was bothersome by doing this at all. He was just happy to see her here.

She said it was a bit of a long story but honestly, the caretaker really wanted to hear it. He asked, Are you back for good now..? I thought... He trailed off, not sure how to say what he intended to say; that Lilitu had married and was therefore gone forever. He glanced behind her, wondering if the guard brought to escort her was perhaps this new mate..?

Lilitu then asked how things were here, for which Eljay glanced at Maia, hoping she didn't mind filling in. His own head was a bit patchy right now, too, making it hard for him to think and figure which bits Lilitu had or hadn't already heard.
