just a quick q isnt steve married ?
Near Lurker:
Polyamory? What, Steve/Cosette/Tortura?
...well. I'll be in my bunk.
Morituri:
I seem to recall a conversation between Tortura and Cosette some time back when she was visiting Steve, catching up and waxing nostalgic.
And zero jealousy or animosity passed between them beyond "Don't you dare hurt this wonderful man or I will come hurt you...." which speaks to still caring about Steve, in her own way. So they do have that much in common.
Cosette wasn't saying much though. It's hard to know what was in her head about Tortura. I don't think there was any indication that either of the ladies finds the other attractive or acceptable as potential relationship material. And Cosette may (or may not) be entirely terrified of Tortura. Or may want to use her as a reference when she applies for a teaching job later.
I would giggle nonstop at Cosette and Tortura going out to spend some time together doing things and getting to know each other. Maybe if they can trust each other enough, and like each other enough, this 'Steve' thing could be something they want to do together. Which IMO ought to terrify Steve way more than getting together with Tortura did.

I never got the impression that any of those three were at all interested in polyamory. Steve and Cosette seem to be happily monogamous, and Tortura seemed to be happy with the guy she was currently with (other than her perfectly sensible paranoia that the CIA was going to come along and try to use him against her).
I definitely got the impression that Cosette was entirely terrified of Tortura. It looked like she could barely squeak out an "o-okay" when Tortura threatened to feed her to the pigs. Can't say I blame her. Your boyfriend's ex shows up at your house, and you discover that she is - as Steve put it - "some crazy Russian chick with more scars than good sense", how would you react?
And to save everyone else looking them up, the relevant strips for all of this are 1350 & 1406/1408 (Steve & Tortura), 1918 (Steve talks about Cosette moving in), 2629 (it appears Cosette has moved in), and 3428 (Tortura threatens Cosette). The only time we've seen Steve since then, he was, in fact, eating cereal.
I feel like Jeph would have made a big deal out of it if Steve and Cosette got married, since Steve is one of Marten's best friends.

Thank you for finding the references! I had forgotten "I'll settle for something more attainable. Like ... EATING the MOON." I'm going to have to find occasion to use that one.

Cereal is Steve's primary partner.
