I will point out that the other person who responded to your comment was factually incorrect about a number of things. I'm not inclined to go point-counterpoint since I'm certain their tastes and values are colouring their experience to the point where they're actively making up scenarios that never existed in the written text, but when they're going to go ruining people's perceptions of my characters when they're making shit up? I'll step in to at least point that out. Quite irritating.
The ace Rael option was definitely included for those who wanted to consider that option, though. It's always good to see it getting some use!
