I'm pretty sure Elia was commenting on the familiarity and intimacy of the scene. I know there was a Sounisian who said, (and this was a long time ago) in the cultures that resemble the QT world, the only man who would've had the liberty of removing a woman's hair pins would be her husband. Of course, the Attolian court still thinks Gen is harassing their queen with his displays of familiarity. Like how Costis thought Gen kissing Irene on the cheek was a sign of ownership rather than recognizing it as a sign of affection. That's what Phresine is commenting on.
One day this will be a international box office hit and this will be the place to be on the interweb.
Oh, that would be the day! :) I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about a movie or mini-series based on QT, but I would love to see someone give it a try, at the very least. It would take an impressive cast of talented writers, directors, and actors; but when the mojo is right, production companies have made some pretty awesome series and movies based on books.
