If that is so, then Cosgo must have severely hurt Jamailia by making girls like Kekki, who didn't seem to have much of a brain, into Companions. One has to wonder why he did it, if he's not supposed to sleep with them.
Theory 1: He's like Silvio Berlusconi: he rewards his "ladyfriends" with political functions, whether they're qualified or not.
Theory 2: It is in fact permissable for the satrap to have sex with his Companions, it just isn't supposed to happen very often.
"'Of the heart' certainly suggests a rather deep and connective relationship?" Just so, that's why I find it very hard not to think of them as concubines. They do seem to be more than just advisors, otherwise why would to be always female?
