> As a cub, Ezekiel learned the Code of Chivalry and Manners from his Uncle Trig, patching in pieces he learned from his Uncle Moto'Vianzio and Kinari. He puts his father's words in there as well. Both Ger and Zeki know the Code of Chivalry and Manners.
> As a Juvenile, he slowly turns toward ___________ words of love and flirtation. He learns slowly of a new code he develops called the Code of Love. He follows it thoroughly and slowly forgets to follow the Code of Chivalry and Manners. Ger has no idea about this.
> As an Adolescent, he ignores most of the Code of Chivalry and follows the Code of Love much more. Full blown flirt!
