I'm not expecting them to go all lovey-dovey, but I do think that something would have to change between them. They can try remaining that way (and for the most part I hope they do), but in that case, I'll be expecting some brief moments where they drop their front entirely.
@Ryll: I don't think it's positive neither, but similarly it's not a bad thing. She doesn't sound like she likes weak people, but at the same time, she'd like someone who's strong to "look" it.
