Eliot missed the look. He was frowning at his hand, which had been denied a five. Hardison really was pissed.
"I'd invite you by, man, but you seem like you'd get a little put out by flyin' eels and things tryin' to kill you all the time," he said. "And I ain't kidding about the stairs."
Actually, Eliot was pretty sure that Fandom could be good for Hardison. Toughen him up a little. Now that he could be reasonably certain there were enough fighters around to make sure the hacker didn't get eaten by flying eels, even if Eliot couldn't.
"Flying eels? Fly-- fly-- flyin' eels?" He was so offended he was stuttering. "You are questioning my ability handle flying eels? I have been buried alive, thrown off buildings, shot at, nearly blown up more times than I can count, and you think I'm might get my girdle in a twist because of some extra-fresh unagi? Man, get outta my face."
"I could make you some," Eliot said. "It's not extra fresh any more, but Hannibal packaged the meat up real good." As far as peace offerings went, it was a little half-assed. But yes, Eliot was really pretty sure Hardison would get his "girdle in a twist" over flying, shrieking, attacking eels wearing reverse scuba gear.
Hell yeah, he would. But he'd be with his family, so
"Hey, hey now-!" Hardison protested. "One of us has to live here, remember? And that means cleaning up after y'all's little popcorn battles when you're done."

And if he came to it, and the Island, OTHER THINGS could maybe progress? Right? Maybe?
"And you are not a dudebro. Ever."

"Okay, so Abstergo Industries actually has ties all the way back to the Templars, back in the early days of Christianity..."
It was a good presentation, dammit. He worked hard on these.
