"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.
