But that was part of the church's doctrine, wasn't it--that men shouldn't lie with one another. Not nearly as taboo as the thought of lying with dragons, but close enough that anyone who did so in the barracks did so in secret.
Before he can think about it, he reaches out, covering Aymeric's clenched fingers with his own hands and tightening his grip.]
Believe me when I say I give not one swiving thought as to what anyone in Ishgard might think of me, never mind that you could not possibly bring shame upon me, because it is absolutely bloody nothing to be ashamed of. If Halone Herself came down to tell us off, I'd fight her myself.
