    It's funny nobody cares that Roxxy is crushing on someone she's known since he was, like, 5. Talk about your groomin'.

    Sure, we know he's actually in his 40s. But they don't know that.

    She's not a human. Isn't she something like 50+ years old? Her sense of time and lifespans would be different. Nevertheless, their time together was relatively brief when he was young. Nothing happened during that time, aside from Rudeus starting to worship her, but she wouldn't even know it. Back then Roxy was interested in spying Paul having fun with Zenith, which is the opposite of being interested in little kids. Then we skipped 10+ years forward to now. During that decade they exchanged a letter or a few, mostly concerning neutral or business matters (like Rudeus wanting to learn the demon continent language).

    I don't honestly understand this whole "grooming" thing when I don't see anything of that sort happening, unlike net predators gradually trying to get kids to send more and more risky photos and finally meeting in RL.

    In the end if we consider a not so extraordinary human couple where the man would be 10 years older, it would mean the man was 18 when the woman was still an eight years old brat. Back in historical times the husband being 10 years older would have been exceedingly common because then the man would have then had a decade of time to get a job and accumulate a bit of wealth to provide for the family. Not every man was an heir waiting for an automatic financial security for life.

    But, sure, if you consider Roxy unintentionally making Rudeus fall in love with her as grooming, then so be it.

    Doesn't really matter if it's intentional or not. Romantically pursuing someone you knew when they were a child has bad optics to it.

    Not at all. If a man meets the woman when he's 30 and the woman 20, how is that pedophilic at all? It doesn't change the fact she was 8 when he was 18.

    That would include all childhood friends getting together later.
