[ the fact hardison hugs her back only makes elena hold on that much tighter, lingering for several moments before she pulls back. her smile shifts into something more like confusion the more he talks. on the one hand, hardison definitely would've called her rookie or grifter jr. by now. on the other, she knows tumbling through that red door can be an experience.
disorientation is not out of the question. not to mention, he sounds like hardison in nearly every other respect.
confusion, then, quickly makes way for worry. a whammy is certainly one way of putting it. she really shouldn't be so happy to see familiar faces, knowing their being here isn't necessarily a good thing. ]
Okay, well. A refresher course - you, Hardison. Me, Elena.
[ it's around this time she starts to notice the differences, and she wonders about their time discrepancies - how long it's been for him since the mission. hardison, have you been eating less? has teleios become a wasteland? this is concerning. ] Are you here alone, or did your team come through the door with you?
nuh uh let's ride this wave until we can't no more ♥
