Apparently Asher wasn't going to tell him. Elijah just would have to check.
He let his hand fall from Asher's jaw to his shoulder and down to his chest, patting him down firmly enough that he would notice if even a hair twitched on Asher's head at any pain the contact would spring. When he got to that bruised area, his eyes narrowed and he was quick to yank up the hem of Asher's shirt to see what was what.
"Stop trying to dodge and tell me what you did." And don't lie. Elijah could tell, he was trained to pick up all the signs and he knew Asher by now. Better than well in fact. "Did he hurt you? Or was it someone else?"
