A little hard to remain in the Blood Wager context.
Every way, Gavin was enfocer's commander before bein an extecutor. He needet more impact with his power of decision, and his letters to Wodleck were LAME. He made little attempt to help her, With the blood too, even if there were exuses.
I agree with your statement: Better the devil you know, than the devil you don't know.
Lissa certainly could have used the Vampire Manual 101 Connie has mentioned several times. LOL

She could have wrote one herself.
Without guide, help or history to back her up she excelled.

:Well, I think that Gavin treated her horribly, but I think that most of my reactions come from a human standpoint. Lissa's standpoint, which clearly we all champion.
When I look at it from Gavin's standpoint, I think that
a) he treated her like a dude (kinda understandable when females are less than 1% of the population).
b) While we know about M'Fiyah, he didn't. He felt like a traitor to everything he had ever done and ever known.
c) Kinda goes with b, but Gavin is one of the most emotionally constipated characters I've ever seen. The dude had no handle on anything besides anger. But anger = hurt + fear. Lissa, quite frankly, scared the hell out of him, because he couldn't protect her. The M'Fiyan generated the hurt in that his thought of life without her was paralyzing.
I guess all I'm saying is that I could never be in his shoes, because I would be huddled on the floor crying. Gavin didn't handle it well, but he carried on.
As regards to the plane ride - I don't know many who don't try to distance themselves from impending crushing pain. That's how I saw what Gavin did.
On the other hand - I think he trusted the council too much (but again, he was part of the Aristocracy, so his own decision put them in power). He also did not try to see ANYTHING from Lissa's perspective. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB.
Wlodek is the one I blame mostly.
