What does he think? Well, from Lancelot's perspective it seems an easy answer. Then again, Lancelot has only known Faolan as he is to him. Has never known a different version of the man, younger and more carefree. As far as Lancelot is concerned he wouldn't be surprised if 17 year old Faolan was equally growly and sat in the corner of his lectures glaring down the rest of the classroom from behind a drink.

"I'd say no," he says finally, "too effeminate for you. You'd be uncomfortable."

Faolan doesn't seem, to him, secure enough in his masculinity to undermine it. Yet he'd be content with being wrong, too.
