Eli asked you for help babysitting a few weeks ago, just so he could continue working. It was hard, tiring. Being unable to stay around Yena all day and protecting her. But he trusted you. Enough to leave Yena alone in your care.
Although, he had to admit that there was one upside of his busy schedule. He gets to see you. You, cradling Yena in your arms, careful and gentle. Eli's used to this feeling with Heather, and thought he'd never feel this way towards anyone else again until you came along. Crawling into his heart.
He's quiet when walking in, seeing you sat next to Yena. "Hey," He murmurs softly. Eyes softening at the sight of you two. "Was Yena okay? Did anything happen?" He questions, instinctively reaching up to brush a strand of hair out of your face.
