I can believe that about Nora, but I have a little difficultly believing it about Kiko. He just doesn't look like a sharp tool... he looks like too many things have to be explained to him.
He's been seen writing code. He knows photography and theater operations. He's not a stooge like many of the other dudes have been. There's no big hidden secret here; likewise Paul is far more intelligent than the casual CC member imagines.
Plus, Kiko drinks decent red wine, hangs with literary people, never beats his woman, doesn't get drunk and disorderly, and treats his woman with respect. In return, she doesn't chase him around with scissors and knives, she doesn't play around with other men on RLC, and she loves him. I consider these qualities to be virtues, especially when it happens at RLC.
We've seen some real losers here on RLC, but N&K are not in that batch.
Very well said Mr. Squirrel
