[color=f26522]LOCATION[/color] — [color=f26522]JAVA CAFE.[/color]
[color=f26522]INTERACTING WITH[/color] — ELLIOT HORTON - [@spooner][hr]

"[color=f26522]Elliot? [i]How did you even manage to-[/i][/color]"

He sighed heavily, shaking his head and deciding not to persue the subject. He liked Elliot, the guy seemed very serious about his relationship with his sister. Despite being younger, he could be a bit protective of Aliana. He didn't want to see her get hurt but Elliot seemed too nice for that, he seemed to be working his ass off to provide a good home for the two of them. He suspected that their families might be hearing the sounds of wedding bells in due time.

Of course, even if Elliot wasn't dating his sister, he [i]still[/i] probably would have liked him. He was likeable by nature, and very friendly to boot. It was hard to think of a feasible reason [i]not[/i] to like Elliot. The blonde Zima girl that had followed him inside seemed like she was thinking the same thing by the way she was looking at him. [i]How could you not like Elliot?[/i] 

When she refused Elliot's offer, he was a little grateful but when she started to set a date, his mouth curved into a peculiar frown. It wasn't his business, surely, but it was happening right in front of him. He wasn't sure if he worked tomorrow, his shifts could be sporadic but he'd asked for tomorrow off. His parents wouldn't appreciate it if he worked on one of their big days. He was starting to wish he'd agreed to come in anyway.

If the Zima girl wanted to get fresh with Elliot, he wanted to be there to report it back to Aliana. Of course, he trusted Elliot to some extent to not make the wrong decision but he didn't really trust the Zima girl. He didn't even know her, she was just some pretty blonde that liked her coffee with white chocolate on top. It would be [i]terribly assumptive[/i] for him to make any guesses about her based on that. 

If she tried to put the moves in on Elliot then his sister was going to be pissed. The whole conversation conspiring between them was enough to make him leery. Really, what mattered was if Elliot accepted her offer. Though, that wasn't automatically bad, it was still a little bit of a shifty move. 

He could see Elliot's younger sister calling out to Elliot, camera in clutch, and a grin that could only be described as devious upon her face. The girl took off on her skateboard at light speed, assumably with incriminating evidence. He couldn't help but pity Elliot for what he'd have to face if Aliana chose to believe that those photos [i]meant anything[/i]. He'd hate for them to argue over nothing.

"[color=f26522]Hate to be that dude, Elliot, but you better go catch up with her. If you need anyone to vouch for you, you've got me.[/color]"

He saluted Elliot before turning back to his work.
It wasn't like he could do much more, Aliana was working and she wouldn't actively be checking her phone. If he dropped her a message then it would likely be sitting there until she was free. That would be useless and he could get in trouble for tapping away at his phone during the work hours. Though if Aliana asked him, he'd tell her exactly what he'd made of the situation.
