[ Kyle thinks sometimes what he would do if Elijah came to the city again. The one that knew him, and not some version like has happened who had no idea who he was or who his sire was. As it was, Kyle worked to keep that away from those that came from the same world. Some were gone, but he wasn't certain that both of those that remained didn't know the truth,
but he'd deal with that if it ever became an issue.

He's just thankful that he's gone, and that Kyle can leave so much as his sire without who he was. That part didn't matter, just what he had done to Kyle.

Despite how some might react to that turn of things, Kyle can't help but nod and give a soft smile. ]

You mean the part that invited him over after talking to him for like six hours on the phone, staying up all night and then all but welcoming what happened?

[ His tone is a teasing bit and his expression wry. ]

I've... explained to myself what some of it was. Feeling alienated from someone that I had finally felt close to from home. The way someone that was close to him treated me. I was new here and had just lost someone I cared about and was questioning what happens to us when we vanish and...

[ He sighs, making a face. ]

I try being logical about it and then I feel I'm making excuses for bad choices and blindness on my part. How much I should have seen the truth in every little thing. It's easy enough to do in hindsight.
