[He gives out a little sigh, not at all surprised by Jusis's reaction]
Alright. Just- don't tell Ash, okay? I feel like if he knows Rean's gonna be there ahead of time, he might try driving to Mexico in that RV of his.
[Ash isn't a bad kid. But Ash is real bad at facing his feelings. We all know this.
But Elliot knows that was a diversion, and it's clear Jusis recognized it too. Elliot was never the best the best at direct confrontation when it came to family issues. But he's grown and mature enough to recognize that Jusis is probably right in that this is better dealt with now rather than later]
N-No, I know- and it's not like I'm against meeting Morgan and Fugo outside of school. They're important to you, so I wanna get to know them. Really!
[He is being sincere about that. If these kids were important to Jusis, then they're important to Elliot. Just like how he immediately got attached to the New Class VII, because they were important to Rean]
It's just ... I don't have the easiest time opening up to other people, you know? It's a bad habit, but with most people, I always feel like I gotta work hard to come off as strong, you know? And with Class VII, it's easier for me to relax....so I look forward to spending time with you guys.
I'm just not sure I'm ready to let those two see that side of me. I mean, you all know each other from the Order, but they're still basically strangers to me.
