You: You were technically the second person I met after I arrived, but Dean hasn't spoken to me since and I have too many issues for that to not bother me. So I regard you as the first friend I made here, and I have become attached to you because I am afraid to not have someone to hide behind on my side. On many levels this place is still terrifying to me. You've actively shown the ability and a desire to defend me from perceived harm, and that makes me feel safer than I've felt in a long time. I find you both physically and intellectually attractive. You help me forget about how much I miss Booth.

Your work: I believe everything you have told me. I have no real reason to doubt you. I genuinely think that you are working to cure a pandemic that your mentor created. I find it honorable that you left the police force for your research and I admire your level of dedication. The fact that you yourself were infected in the line of duty increases my respect for you and also elicits a strange sympathy from me.
