After a long talk with Madison, Eric arrived to his home to finally be able to relax with some form of tranquility. Sitting his jacket down near the sofa, he walked into the kitchen to make himself a drink. Normally, he's not the type to drink but would have one occasionally... Today was that occasion. Walking over to the fridge, he pulled out a dark liquor and a small glass, setting it on the counter and pouring it.. Finishing the drink quickly, he placed the bottle back into the fridge and the glass into the sink. Before retreating into his room for the night, Eric thought it was best to call Ely, to check on her. He hasn't seen her since the ambush in Shibuya.. Picking up his cell phone, he ran through the contacts before landing on Ely's number and dialing it hoping she would pick up..

After a few rings, Elysium finally answered, not looking at her caller ID. "...This is Elysium..." She answered.

Eric was a few seconds from ending the call, thinking that Elysium was probably sleeping since it was really late when he called her. As quickly as the thought came, it disappeared with the sound of her voice.
"Hey Ely, it's Eric. I was calling to check on you, to make sure you were okay." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, while leaning against the counter in the kitchen, "Not one of the best ways to end a date, I guess, hehe.."

Elysium's voice immediately perked up hearing Eric's voice. "Eric! Hey, sorry... I thought you were grandmother's lawyers again... They've been on mine and Aunt Lillian's case about the fate of the company..." She said. "My Aunt Anna hasn't been there in a few days, and dad is getting worried... Especially since her illness and pregnancy.." Elysium trailed off. "Anyways... How are you.? Are you feeling better..?" She asked him.

Eric listened to Ely talk about her current issues, and it made him start to worry about her a little. Sure, Eric knew that Elysium was completely capable of holding her own, but it was the continuous altercations with her family around her that concerned him.
She asked how he was, and Eric gave a shrug of his shoulders, "I'm doing okay, much better than before.." As much as he wanted to tell Ely about his meeting with Madison, as a way to warn her he knew that he couldn't, which placed a damper on his mood. He didn't like keeping secrets from Ely, it bothered him too much..

"...Well, that's good.." She was silent for a moment. "...Would you like me to bring you some food..? I'm almost done here, and... I just happen to be craving sushi..." She said, with a bright tone.

Eric smiled at the offer, nodding his head in acceptance. "I would love that, thank you so much!" His voice delivered a more brighter tone than before, looking around Eric placed some thought into cleaning up his apartment, he's always been a clean and neat person but sometimes he tends to have his moments..

"Good..!" There was a clear happiness in Elysium's voice. "I'll put the order in, and I'll head that way!" Elysium then ended the telephone conversation.About thirty minutes later, there was a light knock at Eric's door.

Eric was just about finished with straightening up his apartment when a knock could be heard from the door, walking over to it, he looked through the peephole to see that it was Elysium.
He opened it, and smiled at the young woman. "Hey you!" He greeted her nicely, he noticed that she had bags of food in her hand, Eric wasn't the type to let women carry heavy items, it was against his morals.
"Here, let me get that for you, love." Eric said before taking the bags from Ely and holding the door to his apartment open just for her, "After you, madam, hehe..."

Elysium allowed him to take one bag, but held one away from him, "Oh please, this isn't the eighteen hundreds.. I am more than capable of carrying a bag!" She said with a smile. She walked inside, "I figured I'd stop in, I'll be getting ready to head to the Poseidon for the tournament.." She said, getting the food out, setting it on the table. She tucked her hair behind her ears, and looked at Eric. "Are you still participating..?" She asked him, with a smile.
"I know you joined, and all, but... from the looks of it, you still need to do some healing..." She said, concerned.
She then started preparing plates. "I just don't want to see you get hurt... My father can still escort me to the Gala, and everything!" She said.

Eric laughed at Elysium's comment, though he loved her independence. He followed the young woman into his apartment, before closing and locking the front door. He walked over to the same table where Elysium stood, placing the bag down on the same table. He began taking the items out and laying them down as he listened to her and her questions about his status on the tournament..
"Yeah about that.." He paused, to look into her eyes, "I really don't think I'm going to make it for the tournament." The items in the bag were drinks, that Eric walked over and placed in his fridge to cool.
Elysium mentioned something about a Gala, Eric heard about it but lost interest in going being that he was no longer participating. She expressed her concern over him, which Eric found kind of cute.. "Aww, someone is worried about me. How cute!" He teased as he poured drinks for the both of them, and bought them back into the dining area, "I'm alright though, honestly a few nicks and bruises never stopped me before.." He gave Ely a quick hug, "But it's nice to know that you care, Thanks Ely.."
He released the embrace, before sitting down at the table across from Elysium, "Now, about this Gala. I know you'd rather let me take you than your father. This isn't your junior prom hehe.."
