What?

[ex-savant.livejournal.com]

Don't be a busybee.

[variada.livejournal.com]

Uh ... do you mean busybody?

[ex-savant.livejournal.com]

That's what I—

Aren't you meddling?

[variada.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wouldn't call it that. It's got such a negative connotation!

[ex-savant.livejournal.com]

Then what would you call it?

[variada.livejournal.com]

... Encouraging.

[ex-savant.livejournal.com]

Encouraging what though? I still don't know what's going on.

[variada.livejournal.com]

Well, let's just say Elliot's got some things he really needs to get off his chest. I'm surprised Clarice hasn't told you!

[ex-savant.livejournal.com]

I don't think Agent Starling likes me very much. Since I'm friends with Detective Stabler, I'm her enemy by proxy.

[variada.livejournal.com]

...That's funny, because she seems to like Danny, and he's friends with Elliot.

[ex-savant.livejournal.com]

Well that's just because she wants to—

Oh.

That's what's going on between Detectives Stabler and Benson!

[variada.livejournal.com]

See, I told you you'd get it eventually. :)

But she doesn't know for sure and he's just having a hard time saying it. I'm pretty sure he's mostly afraid it'll make things weird between them.

[ex-savant.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't she just ask him herself?

[variada.livejournal.com]

She has! He kept avoiding the subject.



This is like second grade, I swear.

[ex-savant.livejournal.com]

Maybe she asked him the wrong questions.

She's a detective, right? I know from experience that not all suspects will answer a question if you ask it a certain way. There's...something Booth used to describe it. Bush something?

[variada.livejournal.com]

Well, she asked him right out if they'd been involved. He said no. (And that was the straightest damn answer he gave.) Then later she asked him if there had been an attraction. And he decided to be a smartass and said, "Why, are you attracted to me now?" Which, you know... is avoiding the question.

[ex-savant.livejournal.com]

She needs to...to trick him into telling her. Like entrapment.

[variada.livejournal.com]

Definitely! But, see, talking her into doing that is kind of hard. Doing that to a suspect is one thing, but to someone you're rebuilding a friendship with? A whole other game.
