The please is what gets him so it's a good addition. He knows, at least on some level, that he's being unreasonable. He crouches down to snap on Leon's leash and pat the dog's head before turning back to Elektra one last time. It's just a walk and then he can take care of her all day. That's a perfectly reasonable position to have, he thinks. "Okay, okay. We're gone." And they are, after setting the security system and grabbing the keys. He's been out of sight all of two seconds before he's texting her.

do you need anything at the store

It's just enough time for her to inch up to drink her water and firmly regret once again not murdering that man. Elektra sighs loudly, but picks up her phone. A promise is a promise. She wouldn't offer something to him unless she planned to follow through.

She has to shake her head after reading the message. He really is a housewife at times. What's sad is she already knows what he needs from the store. What does that make her again?

I still don't have food in any of these houses.

That's to be expected, of course. Mostly he's just relieved to get a reply even though it's silly.

There's a slight delay as she starts downing basically every liquid he left within reach. It's funny now that she's started to satisfy her thirst that she only wants more. That's a good sign, she thinks.

I can manage if keeping these fluids down is any indication. It hurts to drink, but a good type of hurt. Everything feels tender.
