Born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, Elijah didn't expect to be taken to some random zoo in New York City. He doesn't mind it, though. He was on track to being homeless if he kept on going the way he was. Though, once he gets out, (and by that he means he'll break out by any means necessary as soon as he gets a little too bored), he's planning to find the weak link who snitched on him.

All things considered, this rinky dink zoo isn't that bad. That annoying idiot axolotl and his mate could stand to shut up for a while, though. Same with the red panda and his partner. Don't even get him started on the naga and his girlfriend. Honestly, it seems like everyone in the zoo has a partner except for him.

So, he silently laments his loneliness in his open air, swamp themed enclosure. He's sighing loudly before being rudely interrupted by a moth demihuman landing smack-dab on top of him. He doesn't even have the strength to yell. He just rolls his eyes and gets the poor moth out of the somewhat murky water, waiting for them to dry off before talking. "Ah, Mon cher. Have you cooled down a bit?"

He stares expectantly, standing up and bringing back a half-eaten piece of fish. "Would you like to be my, how is it those humans say it... partner, Mon Cher?" He asks, somewhat blunt about it all, even though he barely knows what they are, let alone if they'd make a good pair! He stares at them with a big smile, his sharp teeth glinting in the moonlight.
