Hm, could be fun. I always saw AA as a lot of talk. A bit more bratty. He's the bark, Durge is the bite. And to be perfectly fair...they *did* add what you request (a chance to make him kneel) though maybe not in the way that you're imagining.
On the opposite side, there are a handful of times Durge (and even Tav) can demonstrate there, ah, proclivity for pain. I tend to RP self-loathing Durge. And once my Durge learns of their origins, they seek someone powerful enough to control them, for fear of themselves. But it could be compelling to have an intimidation check for the kneel kiss. Not necessarily to make him kneel in return, but to come back with some of Durge's notorious bite in response.
Interesting proposal. Excited to see where this discussion goes!
