Ric waited for the lean, not at all sure if it was going to come. When it did he set the flashlight away from them, turned toward Elijah, and wrapped both arms around him and sort of coaxed and guided him down enough to be held. He even pressed a kiss to the top of Elijah's head.
Treating him, effectively, the same as he would have Jeremy, Elena, or... Damon, really, when Damon actually let himself be held or touched affectionately, which (admittedly) usually involved copious amounts of alcohol. He didn't speak, didn't offer words, just held onto Elijah quietly, in the dark, and pretended not to suspect (or notice) that Elijah was crying.
