No no I totally get that.

I just would/have already argued that you still have to have some base level which I feel he didn't.

And if you're saying 2 string silent types fit together to have comfortable silence I would also argue Irene is in NO WAY a strong silent type.

Her whole dynamic was begging without saying it aloud. She was wanton. She would have craved for him to even say her name once more.
