Jaspin doesn't seem like the type to hit a lady, I didn't think he would.  I really do hope there is eventually a moment where one (or both) of them say it's been hundreds of years, it's time we put this behind us once and for all.  It won't be easy, but I do hope they get there.  

I know very little about Maxen and Simone so far.  Tell me a bit about what you've conceptualized them as.
