How differently do they think of each other now compared to when they first met? Due to Dora's possession of the observation skills, she had quite a good read on Siger when they first met that informed a lot of her impressions him as a well-groomed, somewhat cold, very brilliant workaholic who was bored by everything around him basically all the time. As she got to know him better, she revised him to a well-groomed, somewhat cold, very brilliant workaholic who was bored by everything around him all the time, but who, nonetheless, was fiercely protective of anyone he placed under the umbrella of 'good', had the best wry, dry, cutting sense of humour, and could be utterly relied upon in any situation if you asked him to do something for you.
Siger's thinks of Dora basically the same as when she met him. She's still nosy, she still odd, and she still won't let him get away with anything. The difference is that now he knows he likes all that, and he knows how clever she is, and bloody hell if that cleverness isn't sexy. Where was their first date? They went to an art gallery and out for dinner. Dora arranged it all, and indeed, Siger has a suspicion that she somehow managed to get him to ask her without him really intending to ask her. He expected to be very bored, but he wasn't, and so when she decided they were going to out again, he did as he was told. What do their friends/family think of their relationship? The Mycroft family (Dora's side) embraced Siger whole-heartedly, and he was rather baffled by them (they're all very strange, and not always good strange like Dora, and they all like each other and get along, which is odd), but he soon settled in to find them very tolerable. They all find him a little cold, but recognize that he is an ideal match for Dora's brain and he looks after her, so if she loves him, that's okay.
Siger has never been particularly close to his parents and has no siblings, so whether they approved of Dora was irrelevant. It would only prove they were the small-minded idiots he suspected them of being. However, they were at least smart enough to like Dora, and Dora insists on maintaining a relationship with them, even if Siger finds it tedious and stupid. They find her quite odd, but are so relieved that Siger has a wife that they just go with it. How do their personalities/skills complement or contrast with each other? Dora is more of a free spirit to Siger's tendency to be logical. She's also the artist to his more scientific mind. He keeps her great ideas to more manageable levels of greatness. They are both extremely bright and keep each other on their toes as a result, and they are both very happy on their own, to the point that seeing each other on the weekends only for the majority of their marriage was really a fantastic arrangement. What is their favorite aspect of each other? For both of them, it's the other's brain. Do either of them have pet peeves about each other? Dora would like Siger to slow down once in a while and give himself a break. Siger wishes Dora would lose some of her wanderlust, or rather stop trying to take him with her. You want to go to China? Fine. I don't need to go to China. You go to China. Have a very lovely time, I'm not sarcastic at all when I say I'm perfectly happy here while you go to China.
