Pdragon, I<em>loved</em>that unexpected kiss and am totally down with the two of them being all adorable with each other.  Aelen's not overly sexual, but he is<em>very</em>affectionate.  He loves cuddling and kissing, basically anything involving physical contact, and being cute.  He didn't get to do that much back home, because of his station and his father's ideas of how men ought to behave.<br/><br/>-squirms happily.-  That said, he still loves sex and I definitely see him as being a switch with submissive leanings if there's D/s involved, but if there's not, he does just fine at being equals with his partner.  And, he's willing and able to Dom f his partner wants him to.  He's good at either role, and really all about making his partner happy.<br/><br/>I might post soon, but just know it'll be to respond to other people, not to move the story along, so I'm not trying to leave anyone behind.
