[ elena wrinkles her nose in amusement, making a show of pursing her lips and tapping her chin. unfortunately, she doesn't know elijah well enough to be able to guide claire in the right direction... but that doesn't mean she doesn't know him, right? ]

Maybe don't point out his age. I think that's the wrong way to go.

Maybe call him something youngish. Don't focus on the old, but focus on the hip. Maybe call him a Milennial.
