Which is fair. I understand my reply wasn’t within the parameters of the thought experiment, but I felt the need to share them regardless. I understand your perspective, even if I don’t agree with it. If I were a Blood Elf, burning every walking corpse so that it can never rise again would be my priority, and I would not differentiate between the mindless ones that destroyed my home, family, friends, and neighbors, and the ones that pinky-swear (those that still have pinkies) that they aren’t like the Scourge, despite acting like the Scourge.
It’s a weird topic to be certain. I wouldn’t mind if it was ultimately dismissed as Kael’thas contemplating politics. The matter of a marriage for him has been discussed several times in books, so it seems as if it was a hot topic in Quel’Thalas (in the Sylvanas novel, she herself was considered a potential wife for him if I recall, an arrangement Lirath supported I believe).
I never saw Kael’thas are being romantically inclined towards anyone. Granted, we only really knew him during times where romance is the last matter on anyone’s mind.
