 [Color=gray]The stranger had blinked at him, asking him questions in a blunder. The confusion was thick across his face and Elijah felt both relieved and disappointed. Part of him had hoped the man had knew something—but it was just his luck that the stranger was just as confused as he was. [I][color=chocolate]Taken from his home?[/color][/i] He mulled over the sliver of information while opening his mouth to respond. 

The sound of a shuffling feet caught his attention, letting his eyes flicker away from the stranger. A woman came barreling down the hall with little warning, knocking into the man and sending him to the ground with fair ease.  Her face was a mixture of shock and horror while ushering quick apologies beneath her breath.

[Color=blue]”Damn woman, you hit like a train,”[/color] the man said with a wobble as he stood. 

Elijah remembered where he was for a moment and closed the gap between the trio. Unsure in what to do but slightly unnerved by the blood that now trickled down the man's face. 

[Color=chocolate]”Yo, you okay?”[/color] Elijah looked at the guy, hands out just in case he should fall back over. He allowed himself a quick glance back over at the woman. It didn’t add up, he had saw the bump but the stranger had pinged off her like she was a one woman wrecking force. But she had barely wavered from where she stood, her toned body showing no sign of impact.

[Color=chocolate]”And are you okay, miss?”[/color] He felt a little awkward asking but felt it only polite. She didn’t have the same confused air or look that the man before them did. Maybe she knew something more? Elijah felt the subtle pang of hope crackle through him. Maybe she would have the answers he needed. [/color]
