"Bold" comes up in romance more than once. It's one her phrases - she both likes boldness and it violates her Sharran principles. "I always had a weakness forthe confident ones . . ."

From memory:

SH What should we toast to?

Tav: to us

SH: Bold. What does "us" mean I wonder? heh. I guess we'll find out.


Many poly people tried to be mono at one time - the initial conversation does take a certain level of boldness.
