Elliot preferred not to walk home. Despite his new ability to suppress the pain he was supposed to feel, it still hurt like hell, and Tin was also already tired. Taking a hovercar, it took Elliot less than 10 minutes to reach Betrin's house, and everyone was already awake... because of Benjamin's crying.
Elliot let Tin out on the lawn, so he could do whatever he wanted, and stayed in the living room, thinking about his next steps. Stella came in a little later with a frown on her face, and Elliot told her to order some food at a nearby restaurant, and soon a smile returned to Stella's face.
Betrin went down from the second floor, where the two bedrooms of the house were, to the living room, where Elliot slept. Seeing that Elliot seemed to be in a good mood while he himself was brutally roused from his sleep, Betrin greeted Elliot abruptly.
"Good morning Stella. Good morning whore by the name of Amom."
