You nod. "That seems consistent with what I know of them." You agree, displying absolutely no visual reaction to this information. You don't experience any internal reaction either; you've never had an orgasm before nor any sort of sexual desires or lingerings. As a human-animal yourself you will one day make yourself engage in coitus if only so you can better understand that aspect of reproduction. But for now, you are much more interested in your other obligations. "Magic and a release of endorphins." You say with an approving hum. Not that you know anything about broken hearts, either. Yours is in perfect working condition.
"It isn't relevant to my task here. I am not here to observe them. Perhaps Rae did not feel the need to tell me that information, so that I would deliver an unbiased report." Not that you have any positive or negative feelings towards the herald, but given you share some sort of distant familial relation, it is possible.
"Not a harm that confers an obligation to me, no." You say with a shake of your head. Then again, your moral system is very narrow; very few things confer rights-related obligations onto others.
"Agree. We waited for the end of LongNight outside where the barrier once was and entered at dawn." Just a few days. "We are currently staying in the woodlands." Now that this conversation had progressed, you find yourself becoming increasingly frustrated by how the man speaks to you. Remembering something Kai said once ("Just tell 'em what you need, Oia!"") you decide to do just that. "I find your questions vast and hard to understand. There probably are questions that you can answer, but which ones? What order do I ask them in? Will you be uncomfortable? Do I require permission?" There seems to be no end to the amount of ways rattling around in your mind, to basically say, "I don't understand your question".
Nervously almost, one of your shoulders rises and your nose and lips give a bit of a tick as you suddenly look away. Breathing out steadily to try and regain control over your features, one of your eyes blinks rapidly as you seem to wince to the side. After a moment this episode seems to pass, and you raise your eyes again and strangely, there is something like shame in them.
"Acknowledgement." You reply, with a nod.

of course it's exhausting, having to reason all
the time in a universe which wasn't meant to be reasonable.
