I love it when Elias is like. trying to be normal boss and Jon keeps hitting the right words.
“Look I can’t let you down there because of Normal Reasons. You could get hurt and stuff. Also we don’t have the budget to let someone else do it.”
“But Elias. I need to know.”
And then Elias relents because his good little eye in training is producing the proper motivations but he still can’t just say “oh well by all means if you’re feeding all your observations into that lil tape of yours I’d love to listen im so eager to learn about the other fears and see you get yourself so deeply tangled in this also hopefully you’ll get some sort of horrible fear mark down there” so he’s just like “…fine”
