91 Hollow fights back!

"As I thought." Theo bought his act at face value, thinking that Elliot is bound to a magic contract that forces him to never reveal anything about them to the others. Elves act in a low-key manner, and they don't want to reveal themselves to the humans yet, so they normally wipe the memories of the human that encounters them or force them to sign a magic contract to keep their identity hidden. He believed that Elliot is one such human, and Elliot had no intention of clarifying this beautiful misunderstanding.

Elliot patted him on his shoulder, then said in a low voice, "Don't treat your life as a currency. If there's trouble coming our way, then we can deal with it together. There's no need for you to foolishly sacrifice yourself."

Theo listened in silence, but in the end, turned around, acting almost as if he disapproves of his decision.
