I finally got the time to really read closely. I wanted to catch everything. There is so much subtle emotion and inferrence in this story. It isn't surprising when you are talking about one of the first Realistics and being centuries old. Elijah is so unique. You capture the obedience and resignation of acceptance and the feeling of real hurt and emotion which makes him so vulnerable and touches our hearts because of it. As a human, I see a lot of the same traits in Orlando. This chapter delves more into trust. I imagine more will come out to Orlando concerning the way Elijah was used and mishandled. It sounds like it was a horrific kinda of rape that Elijah had to undergo with Karl's "Parties". Elijah has strong feelings that surface in worrying about entering Tara's "party". He didn't want to enter and clutched that package so close. It was so sad. "He knows what it's like to have no one to turn to, no way out." This really hurts me. :*(
You bring out so well his thought processes that show he is a machine. When he took "Broken things" and equated it to pity. He was correct but she also knew immediately and tried to cover up without telling too much of Orlando's confidence. She knows there is more to Elijah for Orlando than being a machine. "he said that he felt a connection with you." I wonder about Orlando. hmmmmm
I love how he is teaching Elijah free choice. It will be so interesting to discover Elijah's direction with this and what it does for him. It can be a bad thing also because not everyone would accept him that way. You KNOW you have me worried about Elijah venturing alone and being stolen. He is too beautiful and too easy a target. I am surprised Orlando would allow him to venture alone realizing there is a black market.
I was so curious about the numbing that was overtaking Elijah when he was opening up about people not keeping promises. He was stuttering. Was his system shutting down, overriding? I think he will have a wonderful time with Tara but there is bound to be more hurt coming.
I hope the next chapter is soon! I love this story so much. hugs you close xoxoxoox v

awww! I hope this means you're feeling a little better! Poor Elijah, though he has been around a long time he still has so much to learn. He has certain rules that he has to follow and one is that he can't lie to direct questions. When Orlando was asking him questions he was trying not to tell the truth and that was causing his systems to malfunction. As for the rest ... I can't answer ;) but there will be more soon! I'm so glad that you're enjoying this story and I adore you long time! <3's
