Elliot was easily charmed and he loved all the attention given to him by the out-of-towners. It was easy to fall for sweet Neil, especially since he was getting more and more convinced that Guy was growing tired of him. He never held any illusions that he was the only one for the man, but he did always feel appreciated. A while back he asked him where their relationship was going. Guy had laughed in his face. 'I am going out' he had said before leaving for the night. Neil was sweet and perhaps hooking up with him was a little bit of revenge (Guy did seem to be particularly fond of Neil). In any case, it hadn't affected Guy at all, leaving Elliot to wonder what he was doing still with the Englishman. Except that was a very difficult trail of thought to maintain when Guy was being sweet, fun and charming.

"I'm just saying, lovely," Guy told Neil. "They can get awfully attached." Ellie, for example, had grown quite ridiculously attached, and while Guy did like him very much, there was no need for silliness.
