( by the time elena's come back to the boarding house, he's been there for awhile and he's tried off significantly. he's changed and his hair dry if a little askew.
the rain is still coming down in sharp sheets and he's made the decision to actually go out and find elena when she finally comes through the door. at first, he just stares at her because she's so wet, soaked to the bone, shivering and looking pathetic and miserable.
he doesn't even see the bag in her hands because he's so surprised by how she looks. the momentary stillness only lasts for a few seconds before he grabs a towel and steps forward to wrap it around her shoulders. )
Elena.
( her name is the only thing that he can get out. he has questions on why she was out for so long but right now, he's just focused on trying to get her somewhat dry and warm. )
