I like cruel and manipulative jonelias just as much as the next person but I have a huge soft spot for post-s2 jonelias where Jon is doing everything he can to remain on guard around Elias but keeps finding himself falling back into familiar banter, genuinely enjoying being with Elias (not with the mask Elias puts on, but with the snarky and dry-witted man Jon always liked) against his best efforts to stay distant, especially as his relationships with his assistants get more and more strained.
