Eliot: His wit and acidic tongue are all well and good, and would be enough on their own, but there are two scenes which, to me, show the person beneath.
The first scene is when Quentin stumbles onto Brakebills at the height of summer from a wintery Brooklyn. Quentin asks Eliot, "Am I hallucinating?" To which Eliot replies, "If you were, how would asking me help?"
Second scene is a few episodes in when the first years have made their way into the Physical Kids cottage (think frat house). There is a party going on, alcohol is flowing and someone gives Alice--who is new to drinking and a Nice Girl (tm)--a long island ice tea. Eliot catches her, takes the drink, saying, "Friends don't let friends drink long island ice teas" and then sets out to teach her how to drink as well as making her an enjoyable cocktail. Which to me shows that a) he watches out for new kids, since you know that long island ice tea was meant to knock her out, and b) he wants to make sure everyone has fun but stays safe.
