Anyway, I frankly suspect that this is *why* she's attracted to
 Jinnai. He fascinates her, since he is something she has never

encountered

 before.  It's plausible that any human being who could speak her

language

 would have aroused the same interest.

It's a good theory, Davies (and that's NOT sarcasm, I know it's hard to

tell

sometimes) but it falls apart once you realize that Deva has been warring

on

the Roshatrians, who are for all intents and purposes human, without ever
giving a smeg about having long involved social discourse with them.

Somehow, I doubt that she has ever met one face-to-face the way she does
Jinnai. She's a queen, not a foot soldier.

In fact,

I consider that one of the LARGER plot holes in El-Hazard; the fact that

the

Bugrom, who have the intelligence of your average dog, managed to
differentiate between Jinnai and your average Roshtarian long enough to

take

him to Deva. After all, they attack Makoto and Co. the instant they spot
them, and Jinnai wouldn't have had a Fujisawa-sensei tocome rescue him.

Oh that? Simple! They attacked, then stopped when it percolated throught
their brains that they could understand his pleas for help.

Be well.
