Also, on some level he's still so besotted with her he thinks everyone must love Irina. Because she is so completely loveable. He has the same anxiety about how Sydney is going to abandon him for her mother in Season Two.
It's... sweet. *g*
To anyone with eyes who is not Jack Bristow, it is obvious that Sloane does not love Irina Derevko. He respects her, certainly, is maybe even kind of fond of her when she's not sending his best friend to kill him. But when Sloane loves someone, he is very very obvious about it.
Is there anyone in a position to see him interact with Irina, though? I reckon that Sark would have the best view of this, and wouldn't be adverse to sharing his opinion with the world. (Tacky, but true.) Everyone else tends to be at minion or supporting guest star level and don't really get to watch the big three interact.
Alas, the disks just arrived in Melbourne today, but I am in the country away from my letterbox. Woe.
*sympathy*
Ah, hypothermia. Best beloved medical condition of slash writers everywhere.
*g* It's right up there in the cliche department with, "and they're stranded in a cave/cabin/flooded apartment, and they can't leave, right, and then Stuff Happens."

Oh, wait. I used that one too. *g*
