Anyhow, let us enjoy the troubles they get into, and how once again Horo saves Lawrence's arse  |
Hmm.. I didn't get that impression at all.. true, he was always nervous around her, but when it came to business he always took the initiative and had utmost confidence (even when it was stupidly risky). It felt more to me like he, for the first time, was openly treating her like a partner and asking for her advice, and she made him put on the big daddy pants and decide on his own.
The only real guess I have for her doing this is to get him to start getting used to being on his own again (to keep relying on his own wits). Because if she really wanted him to treat her like a partner, he was doing it. Thus, I don't read it as "pining for passion lost", but more like "passion being avoided".
I've probably just gone and read too far into things again
I sure wish volume 5 of the novels was translated..
It will certainly be interesting to see how Horo "saves him", because I get the feeling that this story with Abe is going to drag out for another season (or two).
