Even discounting the reprehensible behavior of other people, it really is intolerable how much the community invades our privacy and messes around with our lives. As much as I do like this place overall, it has no right to do half of the things that it does, and I don't think that's something that I'll ever just get over or learn to completely accept.

My country's relics aren't toys to be spread around from world to world. These things are taken very seriously, and it would be seen as highly dishonorable and disrespectful for a non-royal to wear or use any sort of royal artifact.

The community is highly disrespectful. I really don't say this enough.

Huh...

[He looks around.]

That's as much of a scary thought as it is... interesting.

I don't think it's scary at all.

I don't think you get the point...

Imagine that someone actually wants to harm you, someone from one of these so called different worlds. Fine, maybe they won't get to harm you -and honestly I can barely care about that. They could still harm something important to you, and then they're back on their worlds in their safe zone.

I'm aware. I've had that happen to me.

I went into their safe zone to sniff them out.

You can move around easier than I can, my lady.

[And suddenly there's a deep frown.]

They'll die in my world if ever they even touch my daughter.

I feel the same way.

Eureka! Bingo! Yahtzee! We agree on something! Jesus Christ... Finally...

Is it really that big of a deal?

[He chuckles a little.]

If I'm going to be constantly brought back to this place without my consent, I might as well get to know the people in it. Knowing similarities and differences could be of aid. If you don't wanna take it personal, take it... uhm... politically, I guess.

All right.

[He smirks.]

Alright...

If for some reason this place takes something from me, I'll be asking around, if you don't mind.

... Why in the world would I mind?

[He makes a face.]

I feel appreciated. Thank you. Because it makes every old man feel better about themselves.

I'll still ask, because I can ask. Because I will ask.

Again, I still don't see why it would matter to me who you do and don't talk to.

[By this time the double "facepalm" is inminent. He still chuckles though, hands still on his face.]

It's going to take us more time than just a few "video calls" to understand each other.

[He sighs and chuckles again.]

It is a saying, my lady. I will not ask you for permission in a literal way. It's a manner of courtesy hoping that the other person won't mind... [And then he looks up again.] ...insert action here... [He shrugs.] It turned into a saying.

I understand, but why would you think that I might mind?

We've been pulled by this community. Things I do could be recorded or brought to this place somehow, and people always reply whether it is in written text, through video, or audio...

[He shrugs.]

In the end, I guess everyone in this place does mind.

But again, my lady, it is only a saying.

... You're a little strange.

[He smirks.]

I'll consider that a compliment... if you don't mind.

If I mind things, I say so.

[He chuckles]

I don't doubt that for a minute.

[Then he checks his watch.]

My daughter should be here in a couple of minutes and I haven't done anything for her to eat. I hope you don't mind if we leave our friendly conversation here.

[He smirks at her, still trying to tease her somehow.]

If you want.
