Maybe Edmund was being a little rash about this. He certainly didn't usually take a lover who wasn't Narnian so quickly. Maybe he secretly wanted to prove to Al that he wasn't a monk, that he wasn't hung up on him, that his romantic life went on even after being turned down so summarily by the stubborn alpha. Would he regret it later? Possibly. But if he was putting himself in danger that Al's sharp eyes had seen, he would certainly regret it if he didn't listen.
Which was why he took Al seriously now, with no thought that it could be jealousy fueling his advice, much as that notion would have pleased Edmund. He gave the steward a penetrating look. "Why do you think that? What sort of mistake?"
Of course, it was rather unusual to be asking a steward for his opinion on something as delicate as his choice in personal relationships. But Edmund did trust his judgment, as well as his powers of observation, and well, if they were going to be friends, that was the sort of thing friends talked about too, right?
