To all y'all angsting over which 'ship Brun's going to board, I have to say: Polyamory is a thing, And polyamorous relationship graphs vary quite a bit. It's entirely within the realm of possibility that Brun finds herself in a fully-connected triangle with Elliot and Clinton while at the same time being involved with Mille.

To some of us a 50 year old is a younger woman.

Specifically Brun's face in panel 2 when she says she likes Millie... She seems genuinely mmm-hmm!

Anyone else think that Brun's face has become steadily more and more expressive since she met Millefeuille??

When I first went to see a nurse practitioner for psych meds almost 15 years ago my then roommate teased me about her, and kept up with mmm-hmms when I kept implying there was no possibility of attraction. Finally he was taking a sip of soup and I said "she's 50 years old with no eyebrows" and it was so satisfying to see him choke on his soup.

recursive mm hmm's are unfair- a negative feedback that will break down most AI systems!

Gawd I hate it when arm-chair psychologists chime in.
I mean I love it. I just hate that I was beaten to it...
Mm hmm.

What’s Renee’s recursion exit condition though? I wonder if it involves harpoons.

I wonder how Renee will handle the romantic possibilities of Brun and Millie, considering her crush on Elliot and her support of Elliot pursuing Brun.

I have to admit, I haven't been convinced that anybody in the QC universe would be a good match for Brun. Even Brun and Renee have a lopsided friendship, i.e. Renee is as much protector as friend. Even the Clinton/Elliot/Brun triad seems to me to have one too many people. But Millefeuille and Brun look good together, at least as a friendship. They're both working out the rules of human interaction and are helping each other do this. It's turning out to be a relationship of equals. From a romantic standpoint, Millie seems more amenable to the idea than Brun, mainly because it hasn't occurred to Brun yet.

I now have an animated gif in my head of stacked turtles alternating looking at the turtle above and below them and going, "mm-hmm"

Renee ships everyone so hard that we could run AO3 off her imagination.

Renee is figuring something's up. And she may be right.
Renee is wise.
Renee is observant.
