[Saul definitely isn't]

No! [Just a little too quickly, because it really is a big age gap and she doesn't want Babs to get overprotective.] It wasn't a huge deal, and it's over now. It's just weird when you flirt with him.

[Really weird.]

[Barbara's silent, for a moment. Her hackles are definitely raised, but - she needs to trust Stephanie, she knows that. If she says it's fine...well, she'll definitely be watching the man, but she was going to do that anyway.]

Okay.

And no more flirting. [Stephanie is, easily, far more important.]

[controlledvariable]

Thanks. [She really does sound grateful; things are still so complicated.] And can you not mention it to anyone? I just-- I don't want people jumping to conclusions.

[Because he's twice her age.]

[bodilesswarrior]

And by "anyone" do you mean "Helena"?

[controlledvariable]

Should I?

[because... yeah, she'd been worried, but she doesn't know Helena well enough to really guess how she might react.]

[bodilesswarrior]

...I'm gonna go with "no".

[controlledvariable]

Is that the diplomatic approach?
