He tells Hardison to eat healthier. And what does he do? Lives on hotpockets and orange soda.
He tells Parker to be more careful. To not do cartwheels on the ledges of buildings when she's not wearing her harness. And what does she do? Wears her harness but doesn't attach it to any lines. Just to mock him, he's sure.
He tells Nate and Sophie to just tell each other. To just get over it, to just be together or not, but none of this leaving-the-other-person-hanging crap. It's clear though that his advice did less than nothing.
He tells Parker and Hardison the opposite when he notices the way they flirt with each other. He tells them that sleeping with someone you work with is asking for trouble - Nate and Sophie already have a past and it's even messing them up, and they have way more experience and professionalism. He tells Hardison that Parker is too crazy a girl to mess with, he tells Parker that Hardison is too naive and innocent to handle her, he tells them both that they are in for a world of hurt.
And what do they do? They get together.
And when Eliot swallows his fears and reservations and grits out that he's happy for them and wishes them well and promises not to interfere with their relationship?
Still they don't listen.
They just roll their eyes. And ignore his advice. And drag him to bed with them.
Sometimes Eliot's really glad that no one listens to him.
