he'll completely understand because he has his own crazy fanbase so, he would tell her she has zero need to apologize (and if she's very public about her friendship with eliot aka social media and stuff), she might end up dealing with them sooner than later. he's pretty shy and quiet at first, still remains shy but loosens up when he gets to know someone. he's a ball of anxiety (worse back in the day so it always felt like he was on the edge), he's more confident now than he used to be back then - meaning he would have been hiding, relying on eliot much more than he should have. despite that, he does enjoy going out, drinking, partying but not to the point it gets too wild, he just likes having a good time with friends and people he knows. he can be sarcastic, has a weird sense of humor, he's very caring and dedicated to the people who matter to him (he's typically making food, coffee, tea for people, he's like a mother goose in some aspect). he's also very jealous and very possessive, so i think at first things would have been very awkward due to his crush on her (well lisbeth) but also the fact that she was eliot's ex so he had a lot of mixed feelings towards her. once he saw he was just being irrationally jealous though, he would have been more open to talking/getting to know her and didn't look like it was torture to be in the same room as her. he's more confident now and less of an innocent little shy boy, meaning a majority of the time he knows what he's doing and what he needs to do to get what he wants. that comment is all over the place, i'm sorry!
