The Dragon Keeper "Controversial?" Hobb and sexuality. *Major Spoilers up to RWC!

['thul]

Now 'thul at last recalled which series it was they had mixed up with RotE for the vague hints of other sexual relationships between members of the same gender. Song of Ice and Fire.

Anyways, while browsing around in DK, 'thul noticed a likely reason that Hest kept Sedric around. Not for his particular love (for which Hest has a sorely weak ability), but for his ability to fix all the blunders Hest did make.

He had proven himself as an excellent secretary to Hest and certainly as an affable and entertaining comrade on the long sea trips that Hest had to undertake yearly. He advised and assisted Hest in matters of dress and grooming. When Hest's sometimes abrupt manner gave offence or cooled a budding business relationship, Sedric artfully employed his tact and charm to set things to rights.
