I got the impression that Elspeth and Jacob's relationship remains non-romantic. Is that correct?
I'm leaving that open for others to imagine either way. It certainly does not become romantic when she is five.
You say that with an emphasis that puzzles me, given that social intuitions about what is appropriate for a five-year-old pretty clearly don't apply to that character. Is it any more obviously inappropriate in that setting for five-year-olds to get romantic than it is for teenagers to marry lovers over five decades their seniors?
Elspeth is more mature than a human five-year-old. She is not as mature as she would have to be for it to not squick me.
Which is totally cool.
I guess, thinking about it, that I read your emphasis as having an implied "...as any right-thinking person would already know" clause which, in retrospect, I have no reason to believe had its origins anywhere but my own mind.
