It’s not even that I think Elias dislikes humanity. On the contrary I think he loves humanity. He loves tons of little things linked to it, as well, he loves paperwork, he loves cakes, etc. But he’s such a passive man. I feel like the interesting thing is if Jon makes him take a much more active role than he’s grown used to over the decades. Elias tends to react, if he must, and only if pushed far enough. But Jon gets him to take action first.
And i think it’s sexy of them both.
