#but i have a perfect score so far on suspecting things from nonverbal cues and them panning out so. reason to think this was all done with

[stupidusernamepolicy]

a couple other thoughts re: burt g. I don't think he's ever been a severed worker or if he has then he's very aware of . The implied long history with the company, the attempts to rekindle the same kind of humor burt and irv had and it seeming much more foreign to irving than it is to burt. Burt's acting suspicious on top of all that ofc.

Also, just relating to the workplace relationship and the discussions they had about it? Them being staunch Lutherians and gay. How they immediately think they had sex when they had not even kissed...

And this is more vibes-wise and speculative, but Burt being the "wild child" and one who needs to Get To Heaven to be with Fields, Burt pursuing Irving (in both senses of the word, to my eye),... It doesn't feel like love or a relationship purely based on it, but more like a keeper and his charge. Making sure he stays on the straight and narrow.
