WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY IS 30-YEAR-OLD NUMAIR FUCKING WITH HIS 16-YEAR-OLD STUDENT THAT HE'S BEEN BASICALLY A SURROGATE DAD TO SINCE SHE WAS 12 HOW DOES AN ETHICAL, DECENT 30-YEAR-OLD LOOK AT A 16-YEAR-OLD AND THINK "MMM YES SEXUAL/ROMANTIC OPPORTUNITY" AND NOT "AWWWWW LIL BB MAGE"??????? TAMORA PIERCE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK WHY ARE YOU MODELING THIS GARBAGE FOR TEEN GIRLS INSTEAD OF, AS A FRIEND POINTED OUT, A NICE NORMALIZING CONVERSATION WHERE DAINE IS CRUSHING ON NUMAIR AND HE'S LIKE "I GET IT BUT ACTUALLY HERE'S WHY THAT WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE; PLEASE GO FIND A DATE OR FOOL-AROUND BUDDY YOUR OWN AGE!" AND GOES BACK TO BEING A NICE NOT-CREEPY MENTOR FIGURE???? GOD WHY.
