Bad isn't it. It is like they've washed their hands of one another, and they only talk if it is really needed. I take it that it won't be long before Vlad finds her own place.
With the lad there practically every night now, i think this lends weight to my theory that this new place was originally meant for Elli and him, not Elli and Vlad. Something went wrong, she had nowhere else to go, this led to the fall out. Could be totally wrong but i think very plausible.
