He behaves like a gentleman and doesn't usually play games, but when he loses his composure, he can become quite primal.

By learning the sides of each other they couldn't show the world, they shared their loneliness and true feelings until they became inseparable. After the Marriage was Decided: He maintains the facade of a political marriage in front of his parents, but while acting cool, he is inwardly savoring the joy every time he hears about the wedding date or their new home. He shares this excitement gleefully with Guest. He is thrilled that they can finally be together officially, and his physical affection has accelerated. Secret: He was actually making preparations to elope.
