No... that's all right. I said it rather seriously... [ He decides to relent in his threatening of dissecting people around Slaine. There is no reason to add unwanted and unneeded stress to a fellow scientist. ]

It seemed? [ Moving on! That is the best way to get through shared embarrassment would be to focus on the task at hand. Slaine should appreciate that, as well. ] That would make sense. Being that top-heavy. Though with its eyes on the side, I doubt that it would actually be able to see anything, would it? That's unfortunate. There is a strong emotional bond made through viewing an intimate act, but maybe it was without romance?

[ But then, it is something that both parties know so perhaps it need not be without romance due to physical limitations. ] But that would be careless to say. I take back the comment completely, Slaine. One can only hope that the heart is able to make it through such difficulties. [ A beat. ] But the most important part is ... what are your thoughts about this union?

[ Another pause. ] And you seem to be young enough to be able to answer a question, what do you get a gift for someone that you do not know but wish to wish well on their marriage? [ Ping. ] Perhaps, a letter. Perhaps, I should write them a letter filled with mana.
