He wasn't sure if he had a type, really. He held a long-standing crush on a childhood friend, who was fully unobtainable. But other than that he never found himself really looking, so sure that he would never get his chance at love. His nobility and status cared not for such frivolous things. Perhaps he was old-fashioned, or maybe that soft heart of his still rang strong in his chest, beneath all the ice and his thorny exterior... but he didn't want to hurt anyone. Felix had watched Sylvain break the hearts of countless women over the years, and he never wanted to do that to someone, just for a moment or two of pleasure.
