Elijah jumps a bit, as he was just beginning to doze off but the yell woke him up. He blinks a bit, trying to stay awake. I mean…he has to help protect the others right? At least in his mind he does. For example, He might protect Alex…and so might Ana, so he’ll also protect Ana too. Samuel’s protecting Velia, but who’s protecting Samuel? He can. And what if Samuel gets separated briefly from Velia and he’s near? He can then. And Dayla probably wants to help to protect people probably…but then who’s to protect her? He can help. And none of the other people in the room seem to know each other, so if he can, he’ll protect them. While this is…a lot to handle, it makes sense to him, the logic just adds up in his head.
Alex is looking down currently, only to scoot closer to Elijah, Samuel, Velia, Ana, and Dayla, who were making sure to stay together he thinks…but he didn’t want to only be standing next to only them…that might make everyone else in the room feel excluded and he most definitely will not exclude anyone that wants to be included!
