Haha yeah, I did presume Carson's gaydar had something to do with it 
It was funny how Sedric was so oblivious for a while that Carson knew he was gay, even though Carson hinted heavily at it. Poor Sedric! And Alise... oh god, from when I read the first chapter in DK with Hest and Sedric, I just knew they were together 
It did annoy me how oblivious Alise was, but then again, she probably knows very little about the possibility of two men in a relationship, and she herself was somewhat sheltered too.
Very good point about Hobb's earlier books not including any gays, I can understand why she would have been cautious back then.
About Thymara, I'm very curious to find out how she deals with Tats in the next book! As well as how she copes with her new wings...
Ok, and I'd like to randomly LOL at the fact that Leftrin and Alise did it on Sedric's bed Talk about blatently defying him!
One more thing I'd like to talk about (please direct me to another thread if I'm going into things too much here!) is about Sedric and Hest. It just strikes me that Hest's seems to be the type of man who gets bored easily, and always wants something new and exciting. But he and Sedric were together a few years... I find it hard to imagine Hest sticking to the same man for that long! Wouldn't he have grown tired Sedric long before he and Alise set out for the Rain Wilds in DH? I know Sedric put up with a lot, more maybe than most men would, but wouldn't Hest have begun wanting more of a challenge pretty soon?
I'm guessing that because Hest had given Sedric a job, (and he apparently was so good and reliable at it) that he felt responsible for him? Also because if he dumped Sedric, and thus fired him, he'd need to come up with a decent excuse as to why he had done so. So Hest was sort of trapped into staying with Sedric, for longer than he would have liked maybe.
I could be thinking into this too much, maybe Hest truly was happy to stick with Sedric for so long, since few men would be as accepting and as easy to dominate as Sedric was. Anyway, I am leading on to my suspicion that Hest was probably having affairs behind Sedric's back... Or I think it's possible that he was unfaithful with Sedric knowing about it, only Sedric would be forced to accept that Hest was "allowed" to behave as such. But I'm not so certain of this theory, because surely if Hest had been having affairs that Sedric knew about, wouldn't he have thought about it angrily in DH? Like when he thinks over all the bad things about Hest, he'd have been sure to remember times when he'd been unfaithful. So if Hest was having affairs with other men, I'm guessing Sedric didn't know.
Let me know if Sedric has his own thread where I can ramble on about him
