Raven is used to Elias acting self-deprecating, but this time it has a ring of truth. Ordinarily she'd argue with him, but she can't imagine anyone would be good to be around if they'd been through what he has in the last week. It's more a statement of fact than anything, so she lets it hang, following him to the couch.
She sits down and for a beat he looks like he's trying to find something to say and is coming up blank. She doesn't like it when he falls into silence like this, because it usually means he's gearing up to tell her to stay away from him. This time though, he seems to be weighing his words differently than usual, even if it still seems a struggle.
"Well, you were," she counters, sitting on the other end of the couch. She hadn't expected that she would miss him but she did, and that's why she's here. She's sure there's more of a story behind what happened than he's telling her, and Raven doesn't think she's so bad a judge of character that she'd be so interested in him if he were a bad guy. She knows she has a more shady moral compass than most these days, but he still doesn't strike her as some cold-blooded killer. "No, Elias," she continues, sighing. "I came to make sure you're alright."
