The walk back to his apartment was quick. Allen followed him once they entered the building. It was funny to think about that this was his first time actually going through the building instead of basically breaking in through the window.

Elijah made his way up to his apartment once they got to the building. He brought out his keys and unlocked the doir before stepping inside. He kicked off his shoes then went off to the kitchen to see what he could make himself. Stir fry maybe? It was simple enough and he pretty sure he had all the ingredients. He looked over at Allen before he did anything else. "Do you want blood now or later?" he asked him.

"Eat your meal first. I can wait." Allen took a seat and sat back to watch Elijah work "You are probably hungry, vampires can go for a long time without food, an hour or so won't make any difference to me."

Elijah nodded then started to grab the ingredients that he needed. He set everything out on the counter then he began to cook. Like the other night he brought out his phone and started to play music to fill the silence as he cooked. While he cooked his cat came over and inspected Allen with curiosity. He wasn't an intruder anymore so they didn't feel threatened.

Allen watched the cat, his eyes fixed on the cats. Reaching out he hesitantly scratched its ears. Thankfully it didn't tear off his hand with his claws. Being more of a dog person, and cats being finicky anyways, it had been a while since he had actually touched at cat.

The cat leaned into Allen's touch and rubbed against his hand, wanting more attention. Elijah glanced over at them. "Are you bonding with my cat?" he asked him with a smile and leaned against the counter as he waited for certain things to cook.

"Apparently." Allen said, small smile on his face "Cat's don't normally like me. Your cat must be very social." looking over to Elijah he asked "What are you making? It smells good." how he wished he could eat whatever food he wanted. Pushing that thought to the back of his head he tried to focus on something else besides his loss.

"She is social, most of the time anyways." Elijah said then glanced over at his cooking. "I'm making stir fry. Which is vegetables and rice and such. Then you add some sauce into it, which I should probably start before I forget." he said then went back to his cooking. "You can try some if you really want to." he added.

"I'm temped. It smells good. But I really shouldn't. It's pretty impressive that you can cook. Though I guess you would have to since you live alone. Unless the cat can cook." he laughed, leaning back against the chair and stretching his arms above his head.

Elijah let out a small laugh at his joke then continued his cooking. "I picked up cooking when I was younger and helped my mom out a lot in the kitchen. I find it kind of fun and relaxing. And I wish my cat would cook for me but all she does is lay around my apartment all day and whine about food and attention." he said with a smile then reached into one of the cupboards to grab a plate as he was finishing up.

"That sounds about right. As nice as cats seem to be they are quite needy at times." he had a friend in the past who had a cat. Granted, theirs had a worse attitude and had clawed Allen on multiple occasions. But they were all the same on some sort of level. Complaining for food and attention seemed to run in them all.

"They are, but I still love them." Elijah said with a smile then turned off the stove when he was done. He put all the food on a plate for himself then went and sat down at his dining table. He then started to eat. "Can you cook at all?" he asked as he glanced up at Allen.

"I've never had to cook, so I never learned how to. Well, back in the day I may have, but any skill I did have is long gone." his life before he became a vampire was foggy at best "When you change so you no longer need something, you lose most skills connected to it." shrugging he rested his elbows on the table.

Elijah listened to him, taking bites of his food as he did so. He related to fact that you forget skills over time. Elijah was pretty sure he knew how to play the piano at some point in time, but probably couldn't even play 'twinkle twinkle litte star' anymore. "Well if you can't cook do have any other kind of skills?" he asked as he looked up to him.

"I'm talented physically. Jumping over high walls, running fast, most types of fighting, I have that covered. Living this many years also gives you the chance to learn a lot, so I'd say i'm pretty knowledgeable as well. Though I still have yet to learn another language." he laughed sheepishly and scratched the back of his head "If we are talking about unusual skills... I can sew. Oh, and I learned how to do a bunch of cool card tricks."
(I have to get off ;-; Good night!)

"So you can sew and do magic tricks?" Elijah said to him with an amused smile then took another bite of his food. "Those aren't bad skills to have. And if you went to high school now a days you would be forced to learn a foreign language. Speaking of which I do know a little bit of French." He said to him with a smile.

"French?" Allens eyebrows raised slightly at this "I tried to learn another language once. I don't have the patience for it. You'd think with all the time I had I would have learned something by now." the mention of school sent a shiver through his spine "I'm glad I turned when I was out of school. I had a friend who was turned when they were seventeen and more than once she was approached by cops asking if she should be in school. Even though she graduated many years ago."

"Learning a new language isn't as hard as it looks, granted I had an actual teacher telling me everything, but I got by pretty easily. Maybe I can teach you French some time, even if I do only know that basics." Elijah said to him with a smile then took another bite of his food. "And that sucks, that happened to me a few times right after I graduated and started living on my own." he said to him and started to finish up his food.

"That surprises me as well. I never got approached by cops. Though it was a long time ago so I guess they were less strict on things." he patted the cats head again and said "It's actually probably a good thing I got turned after I finished school. Other wise I probably would have quit."

(The power went out at my house :c )
Elijah finsihed up his food then pushed his plate away from himself. "People will figure something was up if you went to school after you got turned into a vampire." he said to him then stretched and leaned back in his chair a bit.

"You have a point." Allen replied. It was getting pretty late and he didn't want to keep the human too long. But at the same time, Elijah was giving him blood. He didn't want to seem too needy.
(Aww that sucks. Its pretty snowy here, but thankfully the power is in tact.)

( yeah and it's just my street that doesn't have power)
Elijah nodded then stood up from the table and grabbed his plate and went and put it in the sink. He then looked over to Allen. "You can have some blood now if you want." he said to him then put his pans in sink as well.

"Thanks. I'll get out of your hair once i'm done." he took the others arm and bit into it. He was probably leaving marks, but it was a chillier season and it wouldn't be weird to wear long sleeves.

"Alright." Elijah said then looked away from Allen as he bit into arm. "I actually don't mind hanging out with you." he said softly to him. It was like having a friend around, which was nice.

Allen finished his 'meal' and pulled away "You don't mind hanging out with a vampire?" he sounded incredulous. That was new. "Thanks for the meal. I'll let you be. Make sure to get some sleep, you look tired." his voice was laced with worry, though it didn't show on his face.

Elijah took his arm back when he pulled away then looked to him. "You're not so bad once I got to know you." he said with a smile then yawned at his mention of sleep. He was getting tired again. "I will get some sleep, don't worry." he said to him.

"Talk to you later." Allen smiled warmly and moved to the door. He had been seen walking in with Elijah. Not being seen leaving would probably cause him some problems. The last thing Allen wanted to do was cause the other a problem "I expect to see you completely rested."

"I'll go to bed straight away, I promise." Elijah said to him with a smile then waved to him as he walked out. "See you later." he said to him the picked up his cat before going off to his room to go to bed.

Allen waved to the front lady desk and smiled kindly before walking out. He took a breath of the chilly night air and stuffed his hands in his pockets. There wasn't much he could do now. Without Elijah around he realized just how boring it was to be by himself. But it had been like that for the past three hundred years at least. Ever since his partnership with... Well ever since his last partnership ended poorly he had avoided it. Allen just hoped this one wouldn't end the same.
