i wouldn't say their relationship is cold as much as it's just not all up in your face... being married for six years now i can honestly say i feel there is nothing abnormal about how they act around each other in the compilation... usualy around the two year mark is when all the lovie-dovieness starts to wear out completely... and AC is only two years after meteorfall add to that the complications of a dying child, a sense of helplesness and the knowledge that he's dying and there's nothing he can do to help himself or anyone else, and yeah i can understand that they're not up in everyones face about it, they've got other things to worry about...

as for the bed in his office, i used to have a bed in my office at home for day naps and such, there's nothing odd about it at all...
