yes, a friendly nod in the hallways and greetings in the common room, all that sort of stuff. carwen hasn't actually told him very much of anything about what went on with liddie and carwen after their divorce. we haven't written out yesterday's scene just yet but i think the plan is just to keep elliot under the impression that she's a friend? i could be wrong though. however, elliot is a legilimens and while he isn't so skilled with it yet, he's been working on it so i'm saying that he's kind of caught onto the emotion behind the favour. he doesn't know much but he knows more than carwen let on. that said, all you've said makes sense! he already has a lot going on with patrolling hogwarts, auror things, family things, etc so i feel like his protection is going to be more of a watchful eye than full on body guard style or anything. when he is around though, he'll certainly pick up on that vibe but i feel like as they get to know one another and discuss purist ideals and all that jazz, they could probably develop a pretty solid friendship out of it! i mean, maybe there'll be a side of her she'll always keep closed off, because she doesn't want to tip him off to carwen's personal life but still, in all other aspects, i think they could really help each other out.
