RE: Detective Stabler

I think you should stop being so hard on Detective Stabler. If you'd only talk to him instead of yelling at him, you'd learn that he's actually quite pleasant to spend time with. Lieutenant Sinclair and I have no harbored aggrievances with him, and there's really no reason any of you should, either.

Agent Starling, I believe you mentioned something about him being "a dick" to you? If he came off as abrasive, it's probably because he's going through some issues. I'm not one for psychology, but you should try talking to him about his feelings.

You're new, so I'll cut you some slack. Lulu and I have been here for a long time. A very long time. We've seen 'em come and go, and trust me when I say that Stabler had his damn chance to be nice to us. In fact, he was a pretty cool guy at first, but then she showed up.

Who's "she?"

[agent-starling.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding me?

[ex-savant.livejournal.com]

Why would I kid about something like that?

[agent-starling.livejournal.com]

Wow, you really are new.

She would be one Detective Olivia Benson.

Of course I'm new.

Oh, you mean Liv? We talked about her last night. I know the story, but why would her showing up warrant a change in his demeanor?

[agent-starling.livejournal.com]

I thought you said you talked about her.

A little slow on the uptake, aren't we?

[ex-savant.livejournal.com]

We did.

I don't—

I understand that he's slightly upset about the current situation, but I can't see any viable reason why he'd change so much just because of it.
