-=for those he's spoken to already, he's sounding a lot stronger and healthier. he is attempting to be lighthearted, but in the end he still sounds worn=-

I wanted to extend my gratitude to those who came to my aid when I first arrived here. I would have surely lost my life if it wasn't for your efforts, and while a mere word of thanks feels hardly appropriate for such an act of kindness, it is all I have to offer.

That being said, I am curious to learn about the different people that have come to be in this place. I believe the people I met were called humans? I had never left my home world, so this is a new sort of opportunity for me.

MY WRISTS WILL STILL NEED TIME, BUT IT'S NOTHING THAT NEEDS WORRYING ABOUT.
MY DISCIPLE IS TAKING VERY GOOD CARE OF ME.
IF I SO MUCH AS SIGH IN A MANNER SHE DOES NOT DEEM FIT, I AM ACCOSTED WITH AN AVALANCHE OF CONCERN AND FRETTING.

[championofchuckles]

Oh! The old ball and chain, huh?

[ironbound]

... BEG YOUR PARDON?

[championofchuckles]

The cat lady? The way you talk about her, is she not your wife?

Well, she doesn't look miserable or bloated, so I'm going to assume you're just newly weds?

[ironbound]

I AM SORRY, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY WIFE, BIT IT'S CERTAINLY NOT SOMETHING SHE WILL EVER BE IF IT'S MEANT TO MAKE HER MISERABLE.

[championofchuckles]

You don't have marriage where you're from?

[ironbound]

UNLESS YOU ARE REFERRING TO A FORM OF SLAVERY, NO.
I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM.

[championofchuckles]

Oh, hey. Good one! I should use that someday.

It's a union between a man and a woman. They take vows to be together, 'til death do they part. A lot of people marry for duty because nobility could get pretty complicated so they want to keep their money to themselves. Other people marry out of love.

Not for me, personally. I love women as much as I love alcohol. But you and your Disciple act as if you are already married.

[ironbound]

BY THAT DEFINITION I SUPPOSE SHE WOULD BE CONSIDERED MY WIFE BY YOUR PEOPLE.
WE'VE MADE VOWS TO EACH OTHER. PROMISES.
THOUGH WE'VE NEVER GIVEN WORD TO IT, EVEN BY OUR STANDARDS.
