Well, except that the narrative has already made it pretty clear that they are sexually attracted to each other (particularly clear in the later volumes), and I can't really dismiss all that as a joke. Now, of course, whether that leads anywhere is another question. I suppose if it does not lead anywhere, some could then dismiss the whole thing as just a red herring, but I think we're a bit past the point of using Westermarck with these siblings...
