I agree with you Flirtykitty, poor (but naughty) Aaron has suffered nothing but rejection his whole life therefore he is "on the defensive" most of the time. He's always ready to attack rather than listen. I also agree that Paddy is a good and stabilising influence on him. He does tease Paddy but I think that is affectionate more than malicious!! Well, let's hope the Aaron issue will be resolved shortly and that Paddy's patience does not run out!!
