Talk:Shams Couza

Love interest? Not enough evidence, IMO.


I know that there's been speculation that Shams and Mudie may possibly have been romantically involved, but I have to question whether or not that should be listed in their profile, since as far as I can recall there is no conclusive evidence whatsoever that this was indeed the case.

To the best of my recollection, their only direct interaction in Stargazer was limited to a brief conversation about the situation at the end of Stage 1, and some casual banter during the battle in Stage 2 shortly before Mudie's rather gruesome death. They were teammates and good friends, we can infer that much, but none of what Stargazer showed indicated anything more than that.

I know that Shams pretty much went ape-shit after Mudie died, but that again is still not conclusive; Shams, who struck me from the start as being somewhat less even-tempered than the other two, might've been reacting that way because Mudie was a close friend as well as a teammate(I know if I saw something that horrific happen to one of my friends, I would probably react exactly the same way), or he might have been romantically interested in Mudie without that necessarily being reciprocated. I just don't think there's enough evidence - or any evidence, really - to make that call based on what we do have. We can mention it as speculative in the Notes/Trivia the way it is, but  I do think that mention should be removed from the profile itself.
