i would be down for some kind of ex line, because i agree they would be such a different pair! she's really, really not good in relationships, which i realize IS NOT SELLING HER AT ALL, but she grew up with parents who were in an open relationship and constantly touting how it's the way to go, so strict monogamy is just not in her wheelhouse, even though she's tried v hard over the years to make it work for her. so if they dated there's a good chance she might have cheated on him and immediately come clean about it, orrrr he could've been like, one of the few that she didn't wind up stepping out on? i think, honestly, she would've been the same doing z for zachariah. she's a professional for sure, but she tends not to take herself very seriously and rarely goes anywhere near method - but because there was, i mean, literally just the three of them in that film and it was this really small set and they were way out in the middle of nowhere in new zealand, i think it was a really weird experience for her in that, for the first time, a lot of the lines blurred for her and she had a hard time separating things out. so it would've been a totally different experience for her, too! versus into the wild, where she'd have just been more what she's like day to day, just chill as they come.
