"...no?"

"That's worrying!"

"...why?"

"Because he might do that!"

"...I've been beaten before."

" - and that was bad."

"It was not the most fun ever but, y'know, after that flowers still smell good and music's still pretty?"

" - okay but there are places where it would never happen at all and you could go live in one of those."

"But would I ever get laid?"

"Yes! Lots of people will want to have sex with you, not just morally confused Elves!"

"Like who?"

"I - most men who aren't married will want to have sex with you, you can just find one you like and ask."

"I might be picky now, it turns out I like guys who sing like the Bard of Seas."

" - well, there are fewer of those."

"Yeah. I mean, most Elves, but apparently the ones who aren't, uh, morally confused, probably won't have sex with a human."

" - I guess."

"I like him and he's nice to me. But you're a sweetie."

"Long as you're happy. And not not noticing ways to be happier."

"I think it'd be kind of rude to be thinking about whether I'd have more fun if I left him after he's been so nice? I mean, as long as he wants to keep me."

"I don't think it'd be rude."

"Why not?"

"Because if you don't want someone to think about whether they'd be happier elsewhere you should marry them."

"...is that how it works?"

"Yeah."

"I'm not sure that's how it works with Elves, they have a different thing."
