Don't want to seem heartless but sooner or later Smelliot will have to suck it up. Which is usually easier if the object of your unrequited love is nowhere in the immediate vicinity.
Why shouldn't Marten and Padma have some fun and see what happens?
If Elliot is gonna act like the big overgrown baby he appears to be, well, thatīs his problem (which I do hope heīll resolve!!).
Soulsynger:
Oh, we're playing this game now...
"No body orifice in the office." (A rather unsettling version of "No booty in the firm.")
(click to show/hide)(I was fired from a job once because a female co-worker couldn't deal with me rejecting her and - out of spite, I guess - claimed I had made advances toward her... about which my boss had zero tolerance (and I knew that which is part of why I refused in the first place). Without a second guess, emancipation threw me out the door without warning... ^^)
@VonKleist:
Because if Elliot ever found out about it, Padma would be miles away but Marten would still be "at arm's length", so to speak. (A sudden awakening into the world of emotional turmoil like it has been for Elliot can lead to rather drastic changes in a person's behaviour.)

--- Quote from: stoutfiles on 12 Oct 2011, 06:12 ---I have to agree with Akima, I don't really care how sad Padma is. Everytime she talks it's "me, me, me". When Marten tried to talk about his feelings she skipped away.

Holy! ... I've never looked at it like that. You blew my mind.
pwhodges:
Apparently I'm reading this a bit differently from everyone else...
It seems to me that Padma is actually a little bit interested in Marten, at least as a possible fun friend though perhaps no more than that. This makes her reaction to hearing that Marten prompted Elliott to say his bit more significant; and I read the hand-wringing as being conflicted about moving away, partly because she wants to ask Marten out again - as she then manages to get herself to do.

Looks like I have a new favorite quote.
Anyway, I know it would be wrong, but I kinda want to see Marten go out with Padma, partly because I just want to see Marty have a good time for once since the breakup. Also, if/when Elliot sees/finds out about Marten and Padma together, I'm quite sure he'll finally be moved to action. There's no motivation like seeing the object of your affection with someone else, and a blatent brotrayal.
VonKleist:
Oh, gimme a break. How are they suddenly bros`? Itīs not a brotrayal if you hardly know the other dude.
