Random poll of the day! Tell me, my lovelies, what do you think-- if talking in French to someone he was in a sexual relationship with, would Benton Fraser use the tu form or the vous form?

(I personally am inclined to think he would definitely have used the vous form with Victoria, but I'm not sure if it were Ray Kowalski.)

Second question, for extra bonus points: is it kind of weird that these are the questions that occupy me in the shower these days?

P.S., here is a link to my new favorite Grey's Anatomy George/Izzie story in the history of the world, which was written before last night's episode: Something Better by fox1013. There is banter and scary girls and drinking and platonic sleeping and muppets and stuffed hippos and it is the best thing ever. Trust me.

I know this has been answered already, but he would definitely use "tu".

If you are in a sexual relationship and still using "vous", then you have intimacy problems. Or... you're trying to sound pretentious and snobbish, like my uncle and aunt who "vouvoient" themselves after 30+ years of marriage. "Ma chère, vous êtes magnifique, blah, blah, blah. *snort*
