thinking some more thoughts re: eliot being so attuned to his people. all it takes is a single look or a barely there shift in posture and he's already up and moving to do whatever's needed. he can tell by tone of voice alone when something's up, doesn't even have to see what's going on. and it's so funny every time in the show where one of the crew is just like "...eliot?" and he comes in hot
and i imagine it's so scary to the bad guys. like let's say you're some rando evil dude talking to parker and it's going south. maybe you grab her up by the collar or something and yeah, she can totally hold her own and twists out of your grip easily, but all it takes is a tilt of her head and you're dust before you can blink.
or imagine you've totally cornered hardison, thinking you got off easy chasing the nerd but then he just starts grinning. dude hasn't said a word, just smiling like a maniac, then all of a sudden your shit is so rocked your ancestors feel it
idk where i was going with this i just really love eliot
