[NO RIGHTS FOR ELLIOT and no rights for the hugbot, which mercifully seems to be done tormenting one Nightray. Rather, Kaoru's keen sense of hearing can't pick up on its heavier-than-human footsteps anywhere nearby.
And then the waiting starts and stretches on, because Kaoru is certainly not going to interrupt the moments of silence that this boy clearly needs. One can say "it's fine, it's fine" until they turn blue in the face and it still wouldn't be enough reassurance to some, so Elliot will have to garner that reassurance on his own. Once the seven minutes have passed, Kaoru's posture relaxes just a little - it's a minute change, more for comfort than anything.]
You aren't wrong. [About keeping guard, that is. The hugbot may not be interested in pursuit, but the murderdroids sure are.
A soft smile is offered for the question, though.] Away from the most crowded areas, but not so far out that you would make an easy target... [After a second of thought:] There's a cafe in town with a reading nook away from the storefront, by the fireplace. I don't think any of those creatures would look for you there.
