No. I simply enjoy your company, and it has been a while.
[Is that... Not what we're doing here? Is he being inappropriate? Hm.]
Frankly I do not find the rituals very interesting Or important My brother once said it is all about making concessions for others' comfort But again frankly I do not think I like people who prefer an inauthentic version of myself
But when you are done with the teeth I will come and see you
That is admirable. I often try to make others comfortable, but it does not usually work. At least, back home it did not, but here I find it a little easier.
The teeth are a future project, once I hear back from Jayce. Come by any time.
That is true. And the negative assumptions about my people do not plague me here, as very few know where I am from or why it would have negative connotations.

[Maybe that's part of why he likes Octavian. He is straightforward, impossible to intimidate, and there is no pressure to perform.]
Oh. That would be very nice, thank you.

Very well. I will try to make myself presentable.
