Pleased you liked it. I don't recall aiming for the comedic aspects, but it's always good to have a bit of light relief in a story. Even if it is just a pillow losing a fight with a dog and a stray eunuch.

I tend to think that of the two of them, Alexander would be the one more given to jealousy by his nature. The guy was something of a control freak, after all. In truth I doubt that either of them really lost a lot of sleep over what flings or dalliances the other might indulge in from time to time - but the occassional squabble is fun for fiction.

Thanks for the response.
