[LKK]

After reading the published part of novel 3, the sense I get from Lawrence is that he feels very conflicted about her. He's attracted to her and would probably like to take that attraction to the next level. However, he's constantly reminded either by his own thoughts or Horo's comments that there's a wide gulf between them. A gulf based not only on the fact that they're different species but also vastly different ages with vastly different expected lifespans. Every time, he allows his emotions and desires to dominate his thoughts, something comes along to hit him upside the head with the reality of their situation. I feel sorry for him. It's not a pleasant dilemma to be in.
