I wanna bring up this moment from the Elsword anime for a second.
Listen. From a narrative perspective, most of this makes sense. For those who haven't watched the anime, this is about when Lu and Ciel are introduced to the group, and just before Ignia's betrayal. Everyone thinks Elesis is dead, Elsword is upstairs recovering with Aisha watching over him.
Now symbolically, this sums up everyone's stance pretty well in my opinion. Lu is sat with Ciel at her right hand. Perfect. Raven, Ara, Eve and Chung are all on one side, negotiating with Lu and Ciel and deciding whether to trust them. By all sitting/standing together, they show unity. Great.
They're directly across from Lu and Ciel, who they are speaking to and about to join forces with. Makes sense.
Meanwhile, Add is not quite away from the table, but he's not integrated with either group, either. This is fitting because this is before the point in the anime at least where he is actually dedicated to the group, but it shows that he is still, unbeknownst to himself, "at the table" metaphorically. That is to say, his truly joining the group instead of just tagging along to study Eve is very much plausible.
Ignia, meanwhile, is at an entirely different table, because at this point in the story, betraying Scar is unfathomable, even if she really, really wants to.
Lastly, leaving the one side of the table open allows us to see everyone clearly.
HOWEVER.
If I ignore all that symbolism.
It just looks like Add is refusing to let anyone else sit on the bench with him.

If Add's backstory ever came out to the rest of the group, do you think he'd be using his "technically like 300 years older than you" status to his advantage?
"Back in my day", "you young people", "I'm older than you so you have to listen to me".
"Late twenties? Raven, you're practically a child."
I know that it wouldn't hold up against EVERYONE else in the party, but I like to think it would work on Elsword for a bit, until someone points out to him that Add was already older than him to begin with, so that doesn't change anything.
