[ Tim, in the one actually smart move he’s made in the past 20 minutes, keeps his fat mouth shut when his brain makes the following logic leaps:
That’s couple jewelry, and they might as well both be wearing “I’m with stupid” t-shirts with arrows pointing at Tim.
And, unrelated…
No one could know that Gaia creature personally. Not in the human parlance.
And…
The only people who would be naive enough to think they had a relationship with Gaia are her avatars…
Leading to…
Elle’s an avatar of Gaia who’s finally realizing what a shitty deal she’s gotten.
(Yikes. But it explains why Elle tried to defend Kon. She thought she was working from a better position.)
Tim has other things to interject before Elle can answer Kon’s question. ]
Don’t do that to her. Don’t set her up so that telling you that if she’s okay has to be about if she knows Gaia.
[ (Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? What’s so great about Caesar, hmph?)
Tim turns to Elle. ]
You don’t have to talk about anything you don’t want to. I won’t let Kon hit anymore sore spots. I promise.
[ The look he shoots Kon after that is just a silent triple dog dare. Just try to tell Tim that he can’t make that promise either, Kon. See if that doesn’t end in fisticuffs. ]
