(The prince's) black hair, dark eyes and...masculine appearance struck a stark contrast with Simeon's pale blonde hair, light blue eyes, and gentle yet somewhat shrewd manner...(just like) the main characters of That Kind of story...At first glance it looks like (the prince) would be the top and Simeon the bottom (but I felt) Simeon as the top would be the more classic approach...sometimes the mild-mannered underling takes charge in an aggressive way, reversing the roles...
