And height doesn't intimidate him?Honestly, if someone isn't even slightly intimidated by someone bigger than them, they might be alittle crazy. With that being said, He's not one to shy away from talking to someone just because they are bigger than him. He's short even by Lala standards, so that would just make him overly quiet.
At the very least, Sio can offer him a perch. ^.^
I think this is merely a case of, perhaps, opening the minds of others with a sweet romance a-blossom between a Lala and someone who is not a Lala. I think when most of us say our characters would be a bit taken aback by seeing any large race, like a Roe, with a tiny, delicate Lala, we, or at least I, am usually thinking of a female Lala.
I'm afraid WoW has given me the predisposition of assuming that interracial couples usually start with a female that is more open than a male for some reason. Largely, Belf males were with Belf females, however Belf females could often be found flirting with anyone else, especially Orcs and Trolls.
After Jael'li pointed out to me during my quest chain that the Hyur female whose fiancee died was -apparently- engaged to a Roegadyn male I met earlier (o.o?) that idea suddenly became super cute to me. But small females and large males is a frequent occurrence largely, I think, because of the aesthetic. Large females with smaller males, especially a RoexLala combo is virtually unheard of-- or at least -I- have yet to hear of any such thing, even between RPers.
Sio is fairly set against male Hellsguard, but male Seawolves also put her on edge. Probably because she associates them with water and while she enjoys water in moderation, water in excess is no bueno. Adversely, anyone the size of a male Hyur or shorter makes her feel awkward about how large she is in comparison.
But I've tried looking for art to help me inspire a cute little non-canon picture with Sio and a male and it's excessively difficult to find any references. I did a sketch with her and Shippuu a long time ago but that was comedic, not serious. I wonder if there's anything more to the idea of a female being larger than a male love interest that seems to either not interest people or puts them off?
