I’d have to agree with you there.

Wow. Objectification of women. Brash violence being dismissed without consequence. Now homophobia?

Remember a time with kids’s books were suppose to teach children good behavior?

I am not sure I agree.
If that where the reason for men’s discomfort about kissing wouldn’t there be a equal discomfort in girls kissing?
If girls are naturally submissive then one would have to be the dominant one which is as much frightening as going from dominant to submissive…

I think it is a more cultural thing…
As an example there is the way people greet in France. (don’t know if this still happens but not long ago it was by kissing on the checks. Gender did not apply)

I just hope Dastan doesn’t turn out to be a certain red dragon with “an overdeveloped sense of vengeance” that “is going to get him into trouble someday”. I’m sorry, it’s just that the red eyes are quite freaky.

Maybe Nastajia will come to Alex’s rescue and punch the merman?
For trying to kiss her boyfriend, or by saying, “For Freak’s sake, Dastan! You cannot kiss the King of Dreamland without getting his permission first!”

Hmm … WWKAD? — as in .. What Would King Arthur Do?

Okay, I guess that depends on which interpretation of King Arthur. Depending on the way I’ve seen him portrayed in fiction, he would:
a) Be very diplomatic and regally accept the platonic kiss, showing everybody he’s a great sport, impressing both the natives and his girlfriend in the process.
b) Punch the male mermaid a second time, then, just to show he’s the king and can do whatever he wants, grab a female mermaid and make out with her in front of everybody
c) Show he’s a REALLY good sport, and wrap his arms tenderly around the male mermaid and give him a sensuous liplock, which makes his girlfriend respect him in ways never dreamed of otherwise (thanks to Marion Zimmer Bradley for this image. *grins*)

But what will Alex actually do? Probably put up with it, but make it clear he’s totally grossed out, like a five-year-old kid who had to get smooched by his least-favorite aunt AND eat Brussels’ sprouts at the same time.

Alex is a child. He continues to show that in every way. Thank all that’s holy that Staj is there with him, being the true power behind the throne until (hopefully) Alex someday finally grows up. *smiles and crosses my fingers*

A ‘King’ has to look at it from all sides (the broader picture) and be able to set aside his feelings, issues for the greater good – I realize few realize and can actually do this.
