[ Gavin's so fucking cute when he's hungry, christ. Hank might just steal Eli's kitchen and make him food himself. Later. Right now they're giving Elijah his space to make up with Chloe. They probably have a lot that's going unsaid. ]

Thank you, Ezra. Thank you, Hank.

[ Chloe hugs Eli back, her grip tight and solid and probably far too strong but Elijah's a vampire now, he can take it. They don't appear to say much, but Elijah grips her just as tightly -- but carefully, too. He knows how breakable she could be, but she's also strong. And he won't lose control and he won't hurt her. He knows that. ]

I know it's part of your "job" but I won't be powerless anymore. If anyone tries to hurt you, I will protect you, Chloe.

[ Chloe smiles very sweetly. They're having a moment. ]

I know, Elijah. I was never afraid. I know you will always care for me.
