Hmm, Auriel trying to show herself off to Althalus?...I don't think she can really compete with Mar in that department.

The diffrence is, Auriel is just flirting with him for fun. She wont be at all torn up about him and Mar, and she doesn't expect anything to come of it. Even if Althalus did choose her, the most that'd happen would be that they made out a few times and then she got bored of him.
