Perhaps I am just thinking of "density" in the wrong way.
--- End quote ---
Density is mathematically defined as something's mass divided by how much space it takes up. Submarines are heavy, sure, but they take up more space than the same weight of water, so they're less dense, and they float. In fact, they change their depth by taking parts of their volume taken up by air and replacing them with heavier water, which increases their density so they sink.
I don't mean to interrupt the thread by continuing with the physics, but I'm an engineering major with little to no relationship experience so this is what I can contribute to the convo at the moment :psyduck:

"Will being lovers interfere with being business partners?"
They don't need the health talk or the baby-proofing talk.

Basically this. They are business partners first and foremost. There are several logistical reasons why most companies I've worked for discourage "fraternization" between employees outside of work (unless its on an approved job function) every company I've worked for expressly forbade relationships when one employee had seniority over another
Aside from that, any on-screen discussion would be for the benefit of the audience. They are, as far as we know in the QC-verse, an entirely unique couple

They're the sole proprietors, and equal partners, so there's no power imbalance, and no other employees to worry about favoritism. The occasional spat might interfere with the work, but not really more than it would have before.

There is also that whole "we are a shop that exists solely for the purpose of robotics repair and a portion of our customer base may not approve of our relationship" thing that may end up being an issue.

They have a lot to consider. Their immediate social circle is one thing when it comes to approval. EX: Both Tai and Claire appear to have been "shipping" this for some time. Marten and Dora are obviously aware and others (like Clinton) obviously had their suspicions
But what about outside their immediate social circle? Like I said, they might possibly be a unique couple
fayelovesbubbles:
Uhh...I would have thought they were FRIENDS first and foremost?
They're not going to make out in the middle of the shop. They aren't going to do that and make everyone uncomfortable. While it's true that they did it that one time, they won't again.
Okay, fine. I guess there are things to discuss... "So let's agree, no PDA in the shop, it makes customers uncomfortable." "Okay."
