Puberty?!

Hey guys! I didn't particularly understand one part of Episode 9. Question under the cut, semi-spoilers if you haven't seen episode 9 of Season 2 yet.

Okay, so during the banquet for Tian Zi's marriage, Lloyd introduces Milly (Yay! Interaction! <3) to Kanon. Kanon jokes around say something about how it's weird that Lloyd took interest in another human, and in one translation, he responded saying it was because of the "time of growth," or something, and the other one was something about how he was still in puberty (LOL, I cracked up at this xD). I don't really get it...? Is it really supposed to be a sort of off-color joke about puberty and Lloyd's maturity, or was the joke lost in translation? D:

Oh, and as a side note, does anyone know where I can find non-smutty fanart of OugixViletta or CorneliaxGuilford? (possibly even LloydxMilly or LloydxCecile, if it exists? o-o)

I suppose it's him joking about his own maturity- Lloyd is to an extent just a (very smart) child who wants to play with his (very complex and powerful) toys. He doesn't really give two shits about the world of adults and the rules it has, as shown by his way of referring to the Emperor, his wanting to use an Eleven as the pilot of the Lancelot in the first place, etc.

Which makes his pairing with Milly all the more interesting, since she's also fighting tooth and nail to not grow up and stay out of the world of adults (sabotaging her matchmaking sessions, intentionally repeating her last year of school, etc.) I'm thinking it could partially be due to her own disillusionment with that world after seeing her family's fall from grace (and probably also knowing the full story of what happened to Lulu and Nunnaly,) and of course also just because she's happy where she is.

I guess you could say that Milly actively tries to stay out of that world as long as she can whereas Lloyd successfully stays out by being as oblivious to it as he can get away with and being smart enough for people to put up with him in spite of that.

Ah, that's some pretty cool speculation you got going there! Yup, I think you're right. *nods*
