I suppose being upset at having to travel with a group of women is better then viewing them as a source of sex.

Have to say, it's very sweet of Borneheld to want to see his intended off. (I'm also curious to know how high up he had to reach to pat Faraday on the arm.)

I wonder if Axis is inspired by the umpty-thousand 'Manly Man' male romance leads out there - you know, the 'alpha males' who somehow attract the female lead despite having all the desirability of Vlad Masters and, if the covers are to be believed, ending at the neck.
