/puts on speedo and goggles (you asked for it)

Elena-- right, yeah! [ he repeats it with a smile, and sure it's part-flirting (hardison can't really communicate without at least a bit of flirtation) but it's also warm enough to suggest that he is genuinely making her name and face a linked memory in his mind.

and then she mentions his team, which throws him a little more. while his warmth doesn't entirely disappear, he does look a little caught off-guard for a moment, blinking rapidly before the smile comes back to try and cover it up.
] My-- team? Oh uh, no, no. Just ... me, as far as I know.

[ a guy who's constantly in motion, hardison's hands continue to fidget while he works out whether the way his instinct to trust elena is worth following or not. ] So, uh, how long you been here, then? You sound like a veteran.

[ and even though he doesn't know he's stumbled on the opposite of the nickname another him has given her, it feels right. she is definitely the lead in this conversation and if he's learned anything about grifting from sophie, it's to let the mark do the talking when possible... ]
