Elias doesn't ask anything. He knows she won't answer. Instead, he sighs and looks at the stars. "Tell me about your parents." Marceline asks. "No." Elias says instantly. "I want to know what I'm getting into when I talk to them. I'm sitting close to them at your table, after all." Marceline says softly. Elias sighs. Elias tells her about his dad and his mom. Marceline listens. Then, Elias takes her to the dinner table. They sit around and are very reserved. His parents barely care about Elias. They don't even ask about Josephina, his previous date, and barely glaze over Marceline. Marceline notices the way Elias is so... Quiet around them. (Drama conversation, very subtle but Marceline observes) Elias is the middle child. Older brother is Adrienne. Youngest brother is Oliver. The parents barely care about the three of them. They just need to be quiet and prim and perfect children. Marceline doesn't have much interest in Elias or his family, she had interests in mysteries and potential cases
