Elle isn't relaxed enough, or trusting enough, to fall asleep with Price sitting next to hear but she does allow herself to rest. Her lack of movement and closed eyes may make Price may mistake her for being asleep, though (rest assured, she is still on high alert. She doesn't need to see to be aware of her surroundings).

The pets and the company are appreciated. The fact that it's Price makes things a little more complicated, but so far he's acted just fine. This is proof of concept: Price is capable of modeling positive social behaviors, even with people he isn't particularly fond of.
