I'd suggest a bat but that would be insulting to bats, and inaccurate to boot. :P
I haven't read the last several books, but where I last read, Jean Claude and Richard had something like a hostile, do not cross this line boundary thing. With what had been built up character-wise over the first 12 books or so, I honestly cannot imagine a way in which it could be written for them to be sexually involved without a LOT of character development. I do not trust LKH to have done the necessary development.
I am completely baffled by the "I hope someone comes along for him" type statement. Lady, it's your own world setting and characters. You can create another one. Really. You can color outside the lines (of your own making), too. I can think of so many potential romantic partner types for Richard, and I don't even like the character.
