"I want to read all your books but I don't want to get up."

"Thought this was what servants were for. Except if I summoned a servant I'd get in trouble for running away from my chivalry teacher." 

Permalink

"What do you study in chivalry class?"

Permalink

"It's all about how you're supposed to be brave and courteous and honorable and gallant towards women, and protect the weak and never back down from a fight and seek glory and not care about money or reward."

Permalink

"Huh. That sounds sort of like ethics, except with more fighting and less piety and chastity."

Permalink

"...what's chastity?"

Permalink

"Uh, not doing lustful things? Like, not staring at pretty girls or looking at impure art or dressing provocatively or anything. And there's more stuff like that for married people but I'm not married so I don't know about it."

Permalink

"Oh, we have that, I think? You're supposed to honor and respect women and put them up on a pedestal."

Permalink

"Yeah, that's the same. Women are morally and spiritually purer and men are stronger and better leaders and a man and a woman together can run a godly household."

Permalink

"I don't know if women are different than men psychologically? I think you are just supposed to put women up on pedestals because they're weaker and more likely to need rescuing."

Permalink

"What sort of thing do people commonly need rescuing from?"

Permalink

"Uh. Dragons, fairies, villains, curses...? --There's not any of that anymore," Kaleva rushes to say. "We put all the bad people on the Isle and now no one has to rescue anyone from anything. But you're still supposed to act like you might have to."

Permalink

"I'm glad it's safe here now." He doesn't sound a hundred percent convinced. (He really really really doesn't want to die.)

Permalink

"Weselton didn't really have any of that anyway. All we have is trolls up in the mountains and they're totally harmless. Unless you take their romantic advice."

Permalink

"Is it just really bad advice? Also, wow, you have a lot of kinds of people."

Permalink

"Terrible advice. They sometimes think you should get married to someone you just met that day. --It always seemed like the normal number of kinds of people to me."

Permalink

"There's some debate, back home, about whether if there were multiple mortal species God would have had to be born and die for each one."

Permalink

"I think the Catholics believe he only died once, but I'm not sure they knew about trolls or gods or sapient animals, and it seems like fairies have a different thing going on. It would be really weird to tell Maleficent-- that's the fairy who wants to be as evil as possible-- that being evil is a sin and she should accept Jesus into her heart."

Permalink

"Sometimes humans refuse to repent of their sins too, but I haven't heard of any who were definitely sinning for its own sake and not just because they wanted to do specific sinful things or because it's in our nature."

Permalink

"Yeah, fairies are really weird psychologically." Gosh. Cuddling Bruce is nice. He wants to do it more. Entirely without ulterior motives, he says, "we should figure out a place for you to sleep tonight."

Permalink

"Yeah. It would be nice if I could sleep on your couch or something, if that's alright with you and your parents and stuff."

Permalink

"The castle has plenty of rooms, the problem is that getting you a room involves bringing someone's attention to the fact that I exist, which historically has not worked out well for me."

Permalink

"You could give me directions to a homeless shelter or something? Also, what bad thing happens if people notice you exist, is it that you'd get in trouble for skipping class? I could pretend to show up here after your class is supposed to be over--no, wait, a bunch of people saw me in the kitchen, that won't work."

Permalink

"--I'm not going to send you to a workhouse, I'm not a monster."

Permalink

"Are the ones here really bad in some way? Also why are they called workhouses, is it because they employ a lot of people directly?" He knows there are some countries that do that; the US ones mostly just help people look for jobs elsewhere. Possibly the ones here are really strapped for resources because of being menaced by dragons and whatnot until recently.
