that's quite a good point, and exactly what I mean. Nathaniel's young, and LKH could have developed his character even more so had she let him figure out his own sexual identity, rather than impose Anita's/her own. It would have had major implications with his role in the pard and in the lycanthrope community at large. That whole "he just wants to belong to someone" thing was an interesting start, but belonging to someone when you don't know who you are first isn't such a great idea.
