After leaving Becca and Sarah to their own devises while he waits for them to be ready to grab milkshakes Eric makes his way through the mall looking for something to get the two girls.  Things felt a bit awkward in there, and he imagined it was probably Becca being uneasy with him being a little flirtatious.  Which was fair, though it was hard to turn it off sometimes.  He just needed to do a better job of showing her that no matter what she was number one.  A gift would probably be a good start for now, at least until they got home and he could talk to her and make sure everything was alright.  But it was something to show that he was thinking about her at least, and wasn't totally oblivious to the mood.

But with everything going on with Sarah he was just trying to give her a sense of normalcy.  Especially with the breakup, even as the one that did the dumping that must have sucked.  Not that Aaron had left her much choice, or that he blamed her with how he had been acting.  But still, losing someone you cared about was never easy.  And he wanted to be there to make sure that she was alright, and to remind her that she is loved and not alone.

Eric sees Mark standing outside a video game store, staring in the window with a furrowed brow!

As always, he looks confused.

Mark turns to look at Eric as he approaches!

"I am looking for a gift."

"Hey, me too! What are the odds?"

He'd grin.

"For Eliott or someone else?"

"Eliott."

He nods.

"I wouldn't buy one for anyone else."

Ever.

"...I don't know."

He admits.

"I was looking for something that has to do with technology."

"Alright, well you live with her. Does she play games, if so what kind?"

He'd seen her play Tetris against someone once, but that was it that he'd seen.

"Yeah I've seen that. So that's a puzzle game, which makes sense. She likes to figure things out. What else do you think she'd like?"

The gift needed to come from him!

"Something... that involves building."

It's a struggle.

"Puzzle building?"

"So she likes puzzles and building things. Sounds like she likes to be challenged. Something you two seem to have in common. Don't you think?"

"We do like challenges..."

He agrees slowly.

"I should challenge her, you think?"

"She might appreciate an intellectual challenge more than a physical one."

He had kind of caught on that you needed to be specific with Mark, and he didn't want to be responsible for him challenging Eliott to a fist fight or something.

Damn. He knows him too well.

"I don't know how to play Tetris."

Mark frowns. This idea isn't working.

"Well I'm sure that's okay. I mean she already has tetris anyways. We are just using that as an idea to go off of. Like for example if me and her listed off what weapons you had to pick one that you didn't have. But using that as a guideline. Does that make sense?"

"I can make any weapon."

So, by that logic...

"Eliott can make any challenge?"

"Well I meant ones not made from your power. Like in our first training session. But yeah, I think she can probably overcome any challenge presented to her if given enough time. She's the smartest person I know."

He'd exhale as he thought about it.

"She's pretty competitive too right?"

Eric nods. "So we know she likes building things, electronics, puzzles, being challenged, and winning. Anything coming to mind with that stuff?"

"Yes."

No.

This will be terrible, he's going to electrocute himself.

"You could even make it a couple thing. Both of you building a challenge together, to challenge someone she hates. So that they lose."

Like Silas.
