One of the strange things about being in a new reality, I've come to realize, comes down to grasping social norms. They aren't the exact same here as they were on Thedas, and each one of us brings our own world with us when we interact with one another. My 'I think you're gorgeous and funny and would love to get you know better' might be read as your 'I'm only thinking about your body.'

It's hard enough navigating the subtlety there without adding to the mix different a world's views on sex and relationships.

That means research and asking questions. Or at least it does if you're me, I suppose.

I explain all of that simply so you understand how it is that recently I discovered a concept called 'pick up lines.' From what I've learned, they are terrible and awkward. Of course this means that I adore them.

Hit me with your best shot, friends. Give me your favorite pick up lines. I need to hear them all.

She was in the fleet for awhile. She was gone when I woke up from Atroma's imposed several month nap though, so I suppose she was sent home. More's the pity, she's probably one of the most fun people to spend time with.

Then I shall endeavor to bring at least some fun, to make up for the lack of it with her absence.

Just try not to go as far as she does. It's one thing to have fun, its entirely another to end up in a nest of Cotarie bandits who want to cut off your ears and possibly other parts to settle a debt you may or may not have incurred without your knowledge because someone decided to claim you their sponsor in a high stakes diamondback game.

[He's not angry, if anything it's all very amusing now.]

Avoiding humans who want to cut off my ears is a valuable skill to have.

I can imagine.

[He snorts.]

So... Why pickup lines? Have someone you want to impress?

Not anyone one man in particular, no. More a... general desire to find out who is open to the idea of spending time alone with me.

And don't worry, I already know you're offer the market. [He manages to add, with a slightly playful tone]
