Assuming he was on duty that day... The fact he was drinking there with Padma etc previously would suggest he could be a customer on his days off.

FunkyTuba:
I'm not sure that we're clear who Elliot's interested in or what his protective instinct is being triggered by.

given 1845 and 1847 we know that at least at that point it was a female he was hung up on and that it was someone who was (probably) not within earshot. Then 1847 shows that they were remote enough to require texting (granted, he could have been texting someone in the shop)

But then again there's 1865 where we see Elliot give Marten a bit of a cold shoulder on Padma's intro and then look consternated when Padma says Steve is cute.

Of course, he could be carrying torches for several women at the same time in a hopeless romantic kind of way.

I'm getting the sense that Padma and the shop in general gets put in the role of de facto babysitter for Sam pretty frequently so it's likely that all of them are protective of Sam. Elliot's main experience with Marten as a non-customer was probably seeing him and Steve drunk and fighting over Padma's attentions so Elliot probably needs to be convinced that Marten's actually OK.

Thrudd:
Firstly - RUSH ... woooooo :-D

Now onto something a little less serious.
It was mentioned that Momo's flexible covering was not like skin. Unfortunately I have not been able to verify that as yet [the google skillz is weak in this one] but I have noticed that on top of the lack of hard visible joins that the poor thing can blush. as seen in panel 2 here and that this is a feature not unique to the new chassis either "as shown in the last panel here"

So if the skin like covering has the delicate function of being able to simulate a blush then surface details on texture, elasticity and heat conductivity are minor details in comparison.
Makes you wonder about the specifics on the sensor arrays built into the AnthroPC skin. Parameter types measured, sensitivity and scaling factors, density and data distribution as well as how they would be encoded to interface with the AI? Well that could just be my inner Engineer Geek speaking though.

Elliot's pretty shy, it seems, so his laconic response to and lack of eye contact with Marten could have been evading interaction for that reason.  His look of consternation could have been a reaction to Padma completely ignoring Marten's bashfulness.

SHYAMALAN'D!

Nah, that's just an ordinary twist.
A shayamalan twist is where it turns out he's her adoptive brother but wants her anyway because though it's weird it's actually not that bad but then they find out they are actually real half-siblings.
