Hmm, I
really can't see any of these as the way I'd 'want it to turn out'...
Brun doesn't seem to 'get' the idea of romantic relationships at all - understandable, as human interactions, expressions, conversations are such a puzzle to her - so I don't see
any romantic relationship working out with Brun involved...sad, maybe (for us, who can perceive the intricacies of romantic interaction), but probably nothing more than a vague - regret? - from Brun's perspective.
I'm not sure Elliot actually knows
what he feels towards Clinton. I suspect he's just glad to be able to talk to another guy (of his own age group) who isn't a dick - Elliot
does seem to encounter males at their worst, i.e., drunk and aggressive. Maybe there will be the one date, leading to the realization that it was just rose-coloured glasses all the time. I'm not saying it
won't happen, but I can't help but feel that an Elliot/Clinton match-up doesn't have anything
solid to anchor it. Not like Marten/Dora or Faye/Angus, where the problem was too many emotional landmines down the road - more like, nothing to stop them from just - drifting...
So, maybe one hook-up, realize it won't work and then "Bye, I hope we can still be friends"?
* I'm probably wrong - my own life is rife with misconstrued meanings and tangled relationships
