It could go either way, for sure. There's a defensible characterization in either direction. It's hard to see either actually making a move -- a direct proposition -- on the other if that other is believed straight. I think neither would be willing to risk the partnership and friendship. Having it come out inadvertently is more persuasive, to me -- and which of the two would be more mortified? Hm...yeah, it could still plausibly be either of them. Like you, I perceive Napoleon to have an investment in the ladies man image, but that could include a cosmopolitan interest in sex per se ... yeah, it's a fuzzy area, because equally IK's reticence could indicate disinterest in sex, prudishness, or a total open calm about sex in all its permutations. There's ammunition to go either way with both of them. Isn't that great?
