Her voice came as more of a relief than she would ever realize. There had been a moment there that he'd been nervous that she wouldn't come, that she would've forced him up out of this apartment and right onto the search party. Even though staying occupied and moving would probably keep him more focused, the truth was that he didn't have the strength to go around dealing with a group of people that probably wouldn't listen to him and would zap all of his effort just in the act of keeping them all on course. The inhabitants of World's End all seemed to like wandering away and playing hero, and in this situation, it could end up being a very ugly thing

ffff no worries I've obvs been distracted myself orz

Elle didn't wait for an invitation when Alex opened the door, a sad smile forced to her lips for half a second before she moved forward and drew her arms up around him, hugging him tightly.

"How're you doing?" she murmured softly, tilting her head to the side a little. She was worried for him, because he'd seemed so upset over the journals. She'd seen him in different moods naturally, but she'd never really seen him making comments that seemed hopeless in nature, no matter how brief they'd been. He'd always been so determined to see things out, one way or another. It was one of the reasons she liked him so much.

He held her close in a return gesture. Not too close as to hurt her, but close enough for him to curl his fingers gently into the fabric of her shirt, and close enough to nuzzle his nose against the soft skin of her neck. Elle had always been so warm, so comforting. Now, though, it felt too little too late. She had no idea just how damaged he really was.

"I'm okay," he lied through his teeth, whispering against her. "It hasn't really hit me yet."

And he would lean on her forever if he could. He would let out every single pent out emotion he had on her, just as he always had. That was what she was there for. Today would be no exception. And he had so much to release.

shoulda cast full-life because apparently I suck.

She rubbed her hands comfortingly over his back for a moment before slowly pulling away and getting a good look at his face. It broke her heart to see him like this, and she tried her best to put on a smile, although it was a sad one and didn't quite reach her eyes.

"So no word?" She knew there were people out looking for Claire, of course. She had noticed the woman was fairly popular around the city, and it wasn't hard to see why. Elle really liked her too, and she was glad she'd been here for Alex. After everything he'd been through, he deserved some kind of happiness. Which is why she thought this was completely unfair.
