I'm listening to the part where Fitz and the Fool go to the Bresingas and, I'm just saying, Lord Golden could have created an eviction-worthy scandal that didn't involve fake-grooming a teenage girl and her (soon to be?) betrothed teenage boyfriend.

Yes Civil is (repressed?) homophobic, but also he has every right to distrust Lord Golden, dislike him, and not forgive him.

#lots of people at the bresingas for the party #he could have propositioned any number of the adult couples for a situationship #Even if Lord Golden appears to be in his young twenties he is still--both in fact and in appearance--very clearly an adult #whereas Civil and Cydell are like fifteen years old #probably my single biggest grip with Robin Hobb is her enthusiastic “once you've hit puberty you're an adult!” campaign #nearly non-present in the Farseer trilogy which would probably be my favorite anyway but that alone makes it much more welcome to me #seriously minors are not adults and people. should. not. date. anyone. who is not their developmental stage #“but that was normal for the time” wrong #“but it's just a book and doesn't hurt anyone” also wrong
