Hmmm, perhaps I am mistaken, I didn't know Quina did this gesture as well, I thought it was a Pawn specific thing...perhaps it's just the gesture for thanks, or maybe trust in the DD world...? Aldous does favor the Duke in terms of appearance though, and the Arisen doesn't have to die for the Bestowel of Spirit to happen, as seen with Selene, who Sofiah stated began looking like her before she died, and the Fool who looks like a young Dragonforged. Perhaps this process causes Pawnprints fade...?

Also I did do all of Aelinore's story and know of the Lenore/Pawn theory, and know it has never been confirmed. I think the Duke doesn't want people to know he's still an Arisen as they'd know he didn't slay the Dragon, and he'd lose his claim to the throne. And Pawns can sense Arisen as second nature, so he doesn't allow them in his castle (I actually originally added that part to the speculation section of The Duke's page :) ), but the question always remained, where is the Dukes main Pawn if it wasn't Lenore...?

Just sayin', it's plausible :D
