Imagine if, instead of having Alec unnecessarily sleep with that prostitute, we instead had Seregil unnecessarily point out his favorite homoerotic tapestries of all the ones that hung in Azarin’s brothel, going into really unnecessarily thorough detail of what all the extreme sex acts depicted feel like.
