Cornelius:
I thought I had posted something this morning, but apparently it didn't come through. Ah well.
Another difference between Tilly and Clinton is that, while she does intrude, Tilly is not bent on publicising Hanners to the world (yet). I'll admit her enthusiasm and persistence are annoying, but I think she does genuinely want to help. And yes, she might be fangirling. On the other hand, from what we've seen of ECI, I can see how being made a cup of coffee by the boss is a big deal.
And when it comes to boundaries, let's not forget that Hanners herself was a bona fide stalker in the beginning. If I remember directly, she went as far s taking tissue samples. She does remember, and I think it's interesting how, as I read it, she does try to show some understanding.
Incidentally, this set up does remind me somewhat of the introduction of May.

I read it more as Tilly being a Beatrice fan girl. She seems to be fanning over the fact that Hanners is the heir to the empire more than actually being Hanners

--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 20 Nov 2017, 08:54 ---The difference here is Clinton became star struck and had to be sat down (tied down) and explained he was being a super creep. Tilly deliberately forced her way into Hanner's life and is refusing to leave even when she's being told she's been creepy and needs to go away. Clinton reacted to this by saying 'I screwed up, I'm sorry' and did better. Tilly reacted by saying 'Oh, I know better than you what you need, and you'll get used to me.'

Tl,DR version; Clinton didn't know he was being a creep, while Tilly doesn't care.
Another interpretation; in popular culture/media, a male creep is considered more threatening, especially towards a female, while female-on-female creepiness is considered more annoying than threatening.
ChipNoir:
...Whoever suggested giving Tilly a sock may not have been too far off the mark. We're in full Doby territory here. Now even I'm falling off of the Tilly Train. This is a little too much for me.

That's not just in media, that's real life. Statistically male creeps are significantly more dangerous.
