Or, let's make my question more comprehensible: Would you hold up a pitchfork because a florist or worker at a supermarket are getting closer to their customers?

Plus, would you behead any fanfiction-writers / RP-players for shipping their adventurers with any of the tutors? Because: Don't forget, the playable characters are customers / students of the tutors, strictly speaking.
Personally, I havent been thinking about this in the terms of your workplace and/or situation might not allow for relationships between co-workers or between an employee and a customer and more along the lines of: What happens to this work-relationship if the romantic relationship goes wrong or doesnt even take off?
For me it wasnt so much about ethics here and more about wether or not if could hurt him or his job in the future.

The guilds here are obviously working closely together and are depending on each other, even if they dont see each other on a daily basis. Its still important that the leatherworks get good animal hides to turn into good armor that the lancers use etc.
Now, I dont think that Geva is the type to hold his little advance against him, but I could easly imagine a situation in which the romantic relationship starts to impact the work one in a negative way: Suddenly, Geva refuses to do buisness with him or the lancer guild because of his inappropriate behaviour. Things like that.

And while I wouldnt "behead" anyone for choosing to write/ship a "workplace" or "student/tutor" relationship, I still dont think that thats (a) good, general love-advice (again: if you fall in love at work: Great! But starting to date anyone who you come in contact with through your work: bad.) and (b) depending on the execution (aka showing how they make this relationship work, how they ensure that it doesnt impact the professional relationship etc.)
