Elisha Leleu (Walpurgis)'s Links
Lorelie is often irritable and snappy at Elisha, but perhaps this wouldn't be so much the case if he didn't pester her so much. She fusses though, and he feels appreciated when she does. He can sense the loneliness she denies, so is determined not to leave her alone.
Lorelie has made the mistake of revealing her softer side to Elisha, and he's wormed his way into her life and home ever since. Not that she particularly minds-- social interactions are exhausting to maintain, and it's way easier for her when someone else puts all the elbow work in... and she does rather care for individuals who seem to be lost souls.
He tries to pretend that Alou is still alive, if he can, and speaks about Alou as if he's in town- if pressed, Elisha says he made Alou angry and they aren't on speaking terms.
Alou often seems irritated or exasperated whenever El*sha is mentioned.
Elisha knows Venn exists, in theory. That's about all he could tell you about him.
"Hmm, he seems to have a witch status complex, but aside from that I've found him perfectly amicable. Fife is a darling though, aren't they?" ... Hastur also partakes in Lorelie's hospitality in Walpurgis, making them housemates. Elisha was initially struck by how -similar- they were to one another. He's fascinated by Hastur's job, and hopes to one day see the older man commit acts of violence.
"Poppy is weird!" Elisha says this with enthusiasm, as if weird is a good thing. "They have a lot to learn and it's a delight." ... Elisha thinks Poppy is a bit intense, and enjoys the way they express themself through their words. He thinks that Poppy is perfectly capable of ripping him to shreds... but won't, unless he gives him good reason.
"The small fae is polite... yes.. But too curious for own good. Trust is earned, not simply given."
Poppy isn't entirely sure what to make of Elisha! Elisha's warm friendliness is something they don't know to see behind, but their curiosity has Poppy on their toes. They are suspicious of Elisha, if for no other reason than for the innate nature of fae.
"Emory is very well put together, isn't he. And so very caring, it's easy to see why Lorelie depends on him." ... Elisha met Emory shortly before coming into employment at the Funeral Home under Lorelie. He admires Emory-- nearly idolizes him-- though he does enjoy making the man exasperated. It makes him feel cared for.
"Ah, the funeral home certainly hasn't been boring with Elisha around! Whilst he has a talent for making one flustered... he's a fine addition to Haven. He's also become a dear friend of mine." Emory finds this mortician strangely charming, enjoying his overly morbid humour whilst tolerating his teasing. He has a tendency to try and look out for Elisha, whether with work or avoiding trouble with other residents.
"Fuhua is soooo adorable, it makes you just want to--" He makes a crunching motion with both hands. "--you know?" ... Fuhua is bright and naive, and it makes it too satisfying to bully them. At the same time though, that innocence is precious in its own way. Elisha is already quite fond.
I think he wants me dead?
"Stop cringing, I'm not going to make any headless puns... Anyways, he's neat-- it's always hard to pester the undead and adjacent creatures though... Which is good! I don't think I alarm him?" ... Elisha is even more caught off guard by Dan's lack of common knowledge than Poppy, and doesn't know anything about Dan's potential temper. He thinks Dan is a riot.
"There's no airs about Kettle-- she's very down to earth, maybe 6 feet under even? Ha ha. She's very strong! And enthused, even if she's a bit spacey..." ... Elisha is very impressed by Kettle's abilities, mostly because her magic is adjacent to his own. He wants to know what motivates her! He currently thinks it's food, but it will certainly take more testing.
Bo finds Elisha unsettling, but in the same sort of way that someone would look at leftovers that have been in the fridge too long. Gross, and they should probably get rid of it, but actually throwing them away is too much effort.
He likes that Elisha is easy enough to poke at in chat, and that he'll actually respond to it with banter that Bo feels is challenging enough to engage in. It's enjoyable, but he'd rather die than admit that. It'd probably ruin the fun, anyway.
