Also the other thing about Numaire as a character is that that (Daine/Numaire) was the relationship I didn’t realize until years later (when I was old enough to have a little more perspective on the situation) started as a 28 year old teacher and his 14 year old student.
I mean. Yes, sometimes people know each other before and after an inappropriate age difference without any grooming being involved, but that is still massively a thing which would be tricky to avoid in that situation.
