It does work well as a hint! But we also know that Tazendra is hot so that's a reasonable reaction. (I'm particularly remembering Captain G'aereth giving Tazendra the long up-and-down look when discussing something a Count-or-Duke said to her.)
On the other hand, I have a theory that the Dzur are basically the House of Hotness, by Dragaeran standards, so they all pretty much get that reaction, and it's why so many of them seem to end up in cross-House affairs. :D We meet a lot of Dzurlords and almost everyone seems to find them stunning, so my hypothesis is that Dzur features are the ideal standard of beauty for Dragaerans (in a general/abstract way, somewhat like supermodels or movies stars for us - they're recognisably "very beautiful" even if your personal preferences don't quite match up. Dragaerans would find Tazendra worth a double-take even if they ultimately find members of their own House more attractive to them personally.)
If I keep up this rereading, I really need a Dragaera icon...
