Graison Starling is a captive on the Blue. Which means he's a captive to Captain Baz. And while it sounds like His Worst Nightmare and he has, in fact, had this nightmare before, he doesn't ever remember his captor looking that good swinging a sword at him - wait, what? No.
Graison does not find Captain Baz attractive. Because that would be absurd, right? He's holding him hostage. He's threatened his life. So he's good with a sword. Anybody would notice that, captive or not. Graison just appreciates good swordsmanship, okay? And if you see him stealing looks at the Captain when he's not aware, well, it's just him plotting an escape plan.
So maybe Graison has a small thing for Baz. Whatever. It's not like it matters. He's going to die, anyway.
