Ric didn't feel shaken off and he didn't retreat, but he didn't follow Elijah, either. He simply parked himself near the entrance, and watched Elijah, as much as the light allowed. He was reminded of what he'd heard about Isobel's death, for some reason. From Elena. The return back to her grave, and it wasn't the same, but.

Ric shook his head to shake it off, or try to. He slid quietly down the wall and kept watching Elijah. He didn't want to break in, or interfere. He didn't even want to interrupt. He wanted to be present for Elijah, but let him have his time.
