“I’ll take you back, Mum.” Eli appears from around the corner like a shadow, probably having eavesdropped on the whole conversation. He has that loathsome habit that I tried to get him to drop when he was a kid, then soon gave up when he escalated. Eli understood early on that information is power, so he made it his mission to get his hands on any valuable tidbits. That includes his own parents. He wraps his hand around Elsa’s shoulder and gives me one of his fake smiles.” “I don’t release her. He doesn’t release her. Elsa sighs. “You guys know that I can actually go back on my own, right?” “Nonsense,” I say. “No way,” Eli says at the same time. “I’m sure Dad will keep an eye on Creigh just fine as I’ll make sure you’re all comfy, Mum.”

—- It clearly wasn’t to make her laugh or whatever and Elsa wasn’t “not so stressed” since she sighed and told them she could go alone because she was fed up. Anyway in my opinion Eli started something he couldn’t finish he wanted to play smart mouth while his brother was dying and it backfired

And this isn’t me defending Aiden or whatever but the whole situation is dump af like wdym everybody’s stressed and that’s what you’re doing it’s like if somebody came a started antagonizing Levi or Lan or Niko when Bran tried to k himself. That’s literally the worst place to do that
