My thoughts exactly. That the phrase laying with a dragon doesn't imply sexual contact but used as another way of saying "Sleeping with the enemy" Which, of course, does not imply actually going to bed with the enemy.

Nah, it's pretty solidly implying she had sex with a dragon. For starters, simply siding with the enemy isn't worth being called a "blessed union." Secondly, you have Minfilia saying "How such a thing could even be possible is quite another question." You don't have to wonder how it's possible to side with the enemy. You have to wonder how things are possible when it involves a giant lizard and a comparatively tiny Elezen woman having intercourse.

Again, though, I'm only saying this is what is *said* in the game, not necessarily what we will find to be true.

That is exactly the point of Minfillia her question, I think. They found an acient religious text that stated Saint Shiva slept with a dragon... and both Minfillia and Alphinaud question the accuracy of the text (in part because it is hard to imagine the physical act, in part because the text isn't exactly an accurate historical one).

I doubt we will ever get a real answer on whether it was literal or metaphorical, though.
