jheartney:
Eliot is a contrasting combination of large, intimidating size and sensitive, vulnerable personality. He's completely intimidated by the (relatively) diminutive Brun, and runs to hide after Renee outs him as having a crush.
Method of Madness:
Renee seems to actually feel bad, so that's something.

Well yeah, because she realised she hurt Elliot. Her mouth just runs faster than her head.
themacnut:
It's good that Renee feels bad about what she said this time, but abrasive people tend to not spend a lot of time apologizing for what came out of their mouth. My perspective is that of Elliot's, the person getting "abraded", so to speak. To be around someone like Renee and not want to murder her after awhile, you need a thick skin, or at least to appear like you have one.
Not that you let them say what they want to you all the time either; there comes a point where you have to say "Not cool dude!" to let them know they've gone too far. But I suspect the main reason that Elliot and Renee are still on speaking terms is that Renee is not quite as abrasive around him as she might be around others, and is quicker to recognize when she's gone too far with him. In other words, Renee is nicer to Elliot than she might be with say, Angus or even Brun.

Quite so. My father's advice was: "Never let them see you cry."
