Romeo's first thought when examining Ethan was that he had no interest. It was not a thought that crossed his mind. But at a second glance, he notices something. A little twinkle of interest. Brains! It was so obvious! A brainy type, didn't really matter much else. Guy, girl, young, old, attractive, ugly. Didn't matter, so long as they were smart. Smart enough to challenge him. But even then, its was just a twinkle. Almost hardly noticable. It is clearly not something that crosses his mind. Like at all.
