--- Quote from: Gus_Smedstad on 12 Mar 2020, 14:55 ---As for Elliot, we don't have any evidence that Clinton's inclined that way. Not everyone in the universe is omnisexual. Not even in the QC universe, which seems to trend about 800% more omnisexual than the real world.
--- End quote ---
As am omnisexual chap, I have found that people who are that flexible tend to move in packs. It's something in common, same as background, skin colour, interests, life experience generally.
--- End quote ---
Not just omni folks, queer people in general tend to drift toward each other and cluster together. I, for example, have only one straight friend, out of the dozens of people I socialise with on a regular basis.

--- End quote ---
This is how they're lead to Mathematics. He wants to meet the absolute strangety, and Mathematics (or Philosophy, in turn leading to Mathematics) is strangeful. His imminent interest in foundations, and his esteem for the history and culture, lead him to consume Bertrand Russell's Principles of Mathematics, wherein his search for absolute strangety ends, despite which he'll still seek many nonperfect strangeties; c'est la vie &c.

--- End quote ---
I fear the aid of too-many powerful allies would render that story uninteresting unless, despite all that, May get's denied. Bureaucracy, amirite?
--- Quote from: BenRG on 13 Mar 2020, 00:26 ---[Beepatrice]'ll always be better as the plucky comedy sidekick than she'll ever be as the one in charge, at least not without a drawn out 'coming of age' arc.
--- End quote ---
Of Hannelore's all I recall is her sudden departure and Yak-shit -shoveling return. (I would rather she never returned, and another character (played by another actor, naturally) filled what is now her role.)

--- Quote from: TorporChambre on 12 Mar 2020, 19:45 ---Wasn't Emily merely busy?, Clinton interpreted Emily's reply as noninterest.
--- End quote ---
Being busy is, realistically, the same thing as being uninterested. Someone who is interested will make time, one way or another.

Realistically, it's a matter of what the person would rather do. For some people, there is also a strong disinclination from adjusting one's schedule. Perhaps Azuma had something imporant planned. Perhaps Azuma is loath to change plans. It is quite effective to start loading appropriate thought patterns before the approach towards a cogitive optimum, so that, when the approach begins, the mind is all ready for the cogitage; perhaps Azuma had noticed such a cogitively optimal mental state, and, possibly despite being interested in clinton, would prefer to use most effectively use that mental state.
(Those who are able to continue to be in such cogitively optimal states, tend to organize their lifestyle around always thinking; e.g. John Ellicott)

Practically, perhaps. Realistically? No.
I have a job. I am busy at my job. If you bother me at my job, possible sort of crush, then I will not be making time for you unless you get hit by a bus in front of me or something.
That will vary from job to job obviously.
