Elias nodded. "Yeah, I think that'd be a good idea." He took the leash attached to the collar around James' neck and started towards the door.

He smiled and followed behind, keeping up the pace. He went over, and opened the door for him, smiling some more.

Elias breezed through the door, pleased that James had opened it for him. He started back for the subway. When they got home, he'd be sure to reward the other for doing such a good job today.

He smiled, and took his hand as they walked down the side walk, a grin on his face. He felt happy and proud about being a good slave, and looked forward to when they got home. He then blushed and said, "Um, Master, I was wondering something. Could I ask you a question?"

"Hmm, go ahead," Elias agreed, curious what was on the other's mind.

"Did, did I offend you last night," He asked with a little frown. "I'm just wondering why you wouldn't let me sleep with you." He had obviously been wondering this all day.

Elias blinked at that, before sighing. "It's better if I answer that back at the house," he responded, his shoulders settling like they suddenly had a weight on them. He didn't know why, but he felt like he should tell the other the truth. As a slave, he didn't have to tell James anything other than orders. But he wanted to. Maybe he was getting soft.

He blinked his eyes at that reaction, nodding his head. He went on the subway, standing next to him, and holding onto him gently.

Elias was fairly quiet for the rest of the trip. He didn't feel like teasing the other anymore. He was sure the mood would come back, just not right now. Getting back to the house, he opened the door, letting the other in.

He turned red, but went in, wondering why his master was being so quiet and nice. It was a little weird and he wasn't used to it. He wanted to ask about the sleeping thing again, but dared not bring it up.
