Anyways — he really isn't up to the task of maintaining more than a pretense of politeness, so it's notable that he's irrefutably more crabbier than usual, only pausing out of (slight) deference for a lady despite his lack of qualms for striding forward like its no one's business. They could be walking into a death trap as they speak, but given he's got about as much capacity for survival as a headless chicken headed for the slaughterhouse, his odds for outlasting this night on his own are a bare-boned travesty. This aspect is even further exacerbated so when Elliot spares her a minute glance, absently rubbing the nape of his neck as he takes the fork on the right and treks forward — it's all too clear he has literally zero ideas for how to proceed.
Silence stagnates for a while between them as they venture down the path, and then: ] I don't think I ever caught your name. From earlier.
[ OBVIOUSLY IT'S THE PERFECT TIME FOR PLEASANTRIES, BUT HE'S TRYING HIS BEST NOT TO BE AN EGG ....... CUT HIM SOME SLACK ....... ]
