WAYF:
I think that if Marten takes this opportunity to read the signs and direct Elliott away from the logic flaw that TinPenguin pointed out, it'd be very good for his own character development as well as Elliott's.

Of course, this is JEPH we're talking about, so odds are that if they work together, Marten and Elliott will get some of the way there, but not quite enough. :P

But Martens trying to be nice to him, to be easygoing about it, etc. sort of disarmed him and pushed him from anger to despair. The whole 'man up' thing has a point, but also let's not forget how many people might include part of manning up to kick the crap out of Marten, and maybe when Elliot couldn't bring himself to do that he figured he was sunk.

I have no idea how you managed to get such a bad opinion of Elliot. He's just a guy who isnt very socially skilled. Of course he was angry at Marten for Marten being interested in Elliots crush, but I dont believe Elliot ever, at any point, actively planned to do anything violent to Marten. That idea was clearly just played purely for laughts. So I believe Elliot simply wanted to have a mantalk about Padma - but then the realization of her leaving really hit him.

Laughs for who?  The reader?  Considering the characters have never acknowledged the fourth wall, Marten's terrified look when no one is looking at him conveys that he actually thought he would get pummeled.  If not, maybe Marten should just wink at us when he's being silly for no one in particular.

It is just as well that Elliot is not like a certain other bowler-hatted young man, or he might relieve his feelings with a horrorshow spot of ultra-violence.

That's not milk-plus he's drinking.

Maybe he´s into Beethoven, though ;D

That's funny, my clock just turned orange.

Moonsaves:
Padma is a lesbian. Calling it now.

jwhouk:
Nah. Way too cliche.
