"So I am better than a daemon haunting your tent." So funny, the Astartes sense of humor, because yes, that was an attempt at a joke. At least he brought something cute, named Elion, who was rolling around on her lap, showing his belly. Will she fall for his trap? IS it a trap?

"I do not wish to--many people have different ideas about privacy than I do. I do not want to overstep." Privacy: that thing that didn't really exist for his kind. He was erring on the side of manners. Or at least trying to.
