"No, the concept that it's bad for you to have sex outside of it even if you want to and have managed the practical consequences."

"I don't know what's correct for people in general. But it's important to me to - make sure that what we're doing is good for both of us. And - I know you think we're being irresponsible? But - I think the things I need to have to know that I'm being responsible are not going to look responsible to you. But - that doesn't mean that it isn't important to me not to cross the lines that would, actually, be harmful to us, if we crossed them at the wrong times."

" - okay. I very much want you both to be happy."

Nod.

Mahdi sighs. "Well my advice was just going to be to tell Verita before the two of you show up practically married without her having gotten the chance to get excited about it."

" - that is very good advice."

" - yeah. I guess I should probably ask Elizabeth to bring her here."

"I think she'll like it."

"She'd be so disappointed if we went and killed Asmodeus without her, too."

"She has an adventurer's spirit."

"Yeah. That's a good way to put it."

"Well. Go get her, let Hagan have his shot at winning you, don't be stupid, it'll work out fine."

"All right. Thanks."
