“there’s a lot of people out there, good people just trying to live by the rules, but sometimes things happen that are out of their control. and, well — if we’ve got the means to help the good people out when no one else will, then shouldn’t we try?”

parker and eliot love each other like they can see the rings on each other's tree. it makes us, us where the it is an understanding of their shared complex histories.
and they don't love or see hardison exactly the same way, which is okay, because hardison isn't a tree. hardison is the sun. they love him like he helps them grow, keeps them warm. they love him like he's the light they're reaching toward.
