oh my god. i fucking forgot that distracting elias was a genuine method of making sure he doesn’t spy on you. give him really complicated paperwork to make sure he doesn’t use his eldritch monster powers. “don’t worry guys i have a plan. [throws budgeting plans into the next room] GO FETCH”
he gets really comically excited about the most boring tasks in the world. starts spinning around in his chair and giggling happily like omg yay :3 i love this job so much ^_^ i can’t wait to do what i’ve been doing for 200 years now: meaningless corporate nonsense!!
tim walks in on him once and immediately starts a scientific study on this because what the fuck. there’s no way he actually enjoys this…right?
he experiments by trying to take over a few tasks for him like “don’t worry boss i’ll handle that” and elias is immediately like “NO !!!!! my paperwork >:(”
