I really, really feel like Alanna should be trying desperately to give Shannon a crash course in the world and its customs. And that Shannon should be interested and trying to ask, because whether she's intending to get home or not, she's gonna be stuck for a while. I mean, I assumed the biting thing was, I dunno, the centaur version of a handshake? If I were in the position, I'd really like to know what it meant, instead of going "LOL HE BITES LOL HE'S LITERALLY A HORSE HOW WACKY" and getting smashed.
Speaking of which... does Rhiannon have an extraordinarily high alcohol tolerance or something? Getting assholes drunk on the night of an important political alliance is a really, really bad idea, and yet they keep giving her wine, apparently unwatered too. Are they hoping she'll be too drunk and then too hung-over to make trouble the first day or two? (...and that could get rapey really fast and I'm gonna discontinue that train of thought because I prefer lulz to rage right now) It seems almost worse to get the stranger-from-another-world drunk; who knows what she might start blathering out about her world or her identity, or just plain get wrong without having the "wit" to come up with an explanation? In a sane world, this would either not be happening, Shannon would be getting really suspicious, or Alanna would be going "...oh shit she's getting drunk cut her off cut her off".
...this writing is remind me way too much of Anita Blake. The word "yummy" should never be used by someone with age in the double-digits, especially with regard to hawt supernatural creatures. If there are "creamy mounds of goodness", I'm outta here.
As for the consummation, I keep imagining this Oglaf comic (http://oglaf.com/heterogeneous/) (nsfw). Please don't tell me I'm wrong. :P
