Temeraire would be enlisted in the Aerial Corps, and, in classic tradition, the rivalry between different branches of the armed forces is strong.
Furthermore, as Temeraire's captain, Laurence will have to leave his naval career (already strongly disapproved of by his family), and enter the ranks of the Corps himself, whose members have nothing like a normal life: no prospects of marriage or family or high status.
Temeraire is a wonderful creation, full of the exuberance of his youth, eager to learn about his world, while Laurence instills in him concepts like duty and responsibility.
