Elyse listened, making sure to look at him as he spoke. She ignored the sound of her wallet. Nox could wait. Liam needed her to listen. The way she had needed Sage, Mae, and Anna to listen yesterday. She didn’t hold against him his need to release all the words that he had likely kept in for so long.
The movie was Avery movie and he jumped at the appropriate time and when he as done talking, she gave him an encouraging smile and wrapped him in a hug.
”Your secret is safe with me. Just remember - there is no shame in crying.”
Elyse released the hug and gave him another smile before standing, and heading back over to where Adrian stood. ”Horror movies, eh? I’m not so big on them myself. I’m more of a science-fiction/fantasy girl myself. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Firefly - all classics now, but I don’t know I like the old stuff. Funny thing - people always told me I looked like the mechanic in Firefly - it’s actually how I chose my stage name.” She grinned. It was a true story.
Elyse went to the fridge and open it. Adrian joined her and spoke quietly so only she could hear. ”This shit real!? This kid speaking the truth,” he said.
”Very much so. Be nice to these kids, they’ve had a really rough beginning to life.”
”Shit…] he said keeping his voice down.
Elyse pulled out some eggs and bacon. She was hungry. ”Liam, I’m going to make some eggs and bacon - you want some? How about you, big guy?” she slapped Adrian on the shoulder with a grin.
”Big guy..?”
”You call me little wolf - I call you Big Guy…seems fair,” she said smiling before turning back to Liam. ”Seriously - eggs, bacon, and I could make you some toast too?”
