"Not in my face baby" "I'm waiting for YOU" 
When Seymour calls her love and baby - - his judgement is cloudy/ PTSD/ seems crazy, predator 


he keeps complimenting her, his judgement is skewed, doesnt know proper boundaries between a kid and an adult

-asks her to come closer, compliments her suit and appearance, etc etc

Why is Seymour so defensive about his feet?

maybe he is defensive towards his feet because of trench foot during the war 

he is shocked that all his bunkmates got their foots amputated so when his feet are mentioned he kills himself 



Other theory:

he's trying to prove his innocence from the war by hanging out with the young girl and acting childish with her]]> 2016-03-29 17:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_plauche/lvylio1w6mt/wish/103107533 What is the relationship between Seymour & Sybil? anne_plauche https://padlet.com/anne_plauche/lvylio1w6mt/wish/103109674 Innocence, but the reader can pick up on innuendos to sway them otherwise  ]]> 2016-03-29 18:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/anne_plauche/lvylio1w6mt/wish/103109674
