He had just been ready to relax when that questions hit. He stiffened then, clearing his throat as his gaze dropped to his lap. “Oh… well… no. I don’t really, uh,” he moved in his seat slightly, shifting to sit up a bit straighter. “Like…girls like that..” he said quietly, quickly moving to change the subject. “Job is alright, just using my vacation days, haven’t used them in a long time so I thought, hey why not?” Elijah glanced at the man, leaving out anymore personal information.
Now, that was an admission that caught his attention. Although he wouldn’t look or act it, Calvin was fucking old. While times always changed, it still took him by surprise that this guy was open enough to reveal that he liked—other guys, like it was nothing, to a complete stranger. Now that took some balls. He eyed him slyly; giving his rugged, outward appearance another once-over.
Oh, can’t eat him, then, came the disgruntled grumbling of Cornell at the back of his brain. He sniffed in slight annoyance. They weren’t eating anyone, but they definitely weren’t eating Elijah.
“Oh, so you’re on vacation, that’s cool. Hey, I’d use ‘em all up too, given the chance,” Calvin shifted easily back into his peppy attitude; flashing the other man a smile while he focused on the treacherous, snow-covered road ahead of them, “Although I think most folks would wanna go somewhere specific rather than wander around northeastern Ohio, heh.”
Elijah only shrugged. He had been around for long enough where he knew nothing this man could do would kill him. Hurt maybe, and yes, he was still a bit nervous about admitting his attraction to men, but this was a more modern society, and his mind always went back to that thought. Nothing this man could do would kill him so why not? He exhaled slowly. “I like to just wander sometimes..” he told him. “Journey is more important than destination. And you find new things you never would have found before.”
