[ He doesn't really like seeing Eli off but it's necessary. As fun as it is, it really isn't healthy to be inseparable like they were as children. They need to be their own people and the distance and time makes the pull of his blood in Eli lessen. His instincts tone down from "me" to "brother" after a few days.
But they're still connected, of course, so as he goes back to work and starts trying to deal with all this supernatural bullshit he can start to feel it encroach. Eli's anxiety. Eli being scared of himself. It gets strong enough that he has to excuse himself to the bathroom and splash cold water on his face with some deep breaths. So he isn't surprised when Chloe calls him, as he was just about to do it himself. He's grounded himself from Eli's feelings when she calls and he says he'll be right over.
Of course. Eli's never handled not understanding something well, wanting to hide himself until he does. So scared of seeming weak or unknowing. Well, he can't hide from Ezra.
So he goes in with a nice greeting to Chloe and heads towards the basement. He knocks on the door. ]
