Did everyone see them together? Aside from the author, yeah. Pretty much! :P Well, at least that was before SOTS when the possibility of Katrepid became clearer.
I remember during the hooman chapters in Book 5 (I think) where people said something about Cyclone having a girlfriend and the sort and Talmid getting angry about it! :P
Agreed with Jonna. There's the drama, but also the comicness. Great chaptah.
