The creators clearly intended for them to be separate, and I'm not really a fan of pushing clearly past the limitations they've set for us. It feels like an unnecessary complexity. I personally enjoy working within the constraints given to me.
Also, romance probably doesn't work the same way at all for miqo'te as it does for us as humans. Seekers, especially, are polygamous and monogamy seems to be unheard of. Just another lore-breaking item, taking away key things that make miqo'te who they are.
I think the thing to remember with these type of things is that no one will really know that our pair is together. Especially since their coupling will have made them both exiles. I don't intend to go around town hand holding and making kissy faces at his Keeper, because that (in my Seeker's eyes) would be, "...like spitting in everyone's face." We have never really roleplayed the types of characters who doted on public displays of affection even when we chose the same race/sub race in a game.
And "pushing past the limitations set for us" is often times some of the most fun roleplay I have had. Now I certainly don't want to bend the lore but I am curious, at what point would such intermingling happen? And after being exiled from their respective clans would the pair still be likely to receive such harassment outside of their homeland?
The main issue is indeed the culture points that people have mentioned before. Â In the tribal states the keepers conduct affairs at night due to their nocturnal natures. Â However I would say that if any individual spent any time in the company of the other races they could very easily adjust to a more diurnal lifestyle. Â Look at all the city Keepers. Â
And as to who would judge and harasses them I would say only Miqo'te who took the tribal laws as seriously as those who exiled them in the first place, such as perhaps Growly beasts Miqo'te. I doubt other races would care that much as a general rule and the same for those Miqo'te who have adjusted to a more urban lifestyle.
