An armsman to a lord, or a lord to an emperor. There is rarely cause for a relationship to exist, much less opportunity for that kind of trust and devotion to be built without it.

[overemotionally]

Those are considered personal? They sound more professional.

[use_everything]

You asked the prerequisite. If they form, it is from such relationships, in truth.

[overemotionally]

[Another sip of coffee as he contemplates.]

...I think you answered just about all of the questions I had.

[use_everything]

[He nods, amiably at that, and then fixes Kirk with a particularly shrewd look, as if considering him on multiple levels.]

Then I've one: The reason for you interest in this particular aspect?

[overemotionally]

[Jim quirks an eyebrow.]

Cultural research. Might as well learn a thing or two about different civilizations while I'm here, right?

[use_everything]

[The answer is the intensely eloquent and verbose:] Horseshit.

[overemotionally]

[Yeah he figured he'd get called out on that one. He drains the rest of his coffee.]

I was curious after seeing the way Greg and Miles interacted.

[use_everything]

[He nods at that. He'd assumed, but it was hardly any great leap of logic to reach. This however, sparks a bit of curiosity, how it appears from a nearly outside view.]

Does it satisfy?

[overemotionally]

Your explanation in general or your explanation as applied to observation?

[use_everything]

The latter, actually. The former is inadequate, I'm aware.

[overemotionally]

[He looks at Aral for a few seconds before answering.]

To be honest, no. Not quite.

[use_everything]

Hm.

[He nods at that, and gathers both cups before standing.]

Please feel welcome to return. It was a good conversation.

[overemotionally]

I'll be in for more of that. [A nod of his head towards the cups in Aral's hands.] And the conversation. [A small smirk here.]

Appreciate your time.
