I didn’t say that exactly. I meant only that people usually drink because they are ill at ease and perhaps meeting a nice girl might serve a similar purpose for you. You prefer the company of women, I think.
What does that mean? Ah. I don’t care what that means, actually. […] Yes. Aren’t we all?
I don’t feel ill at ease. I drank to make other people feel less ill at ease with me. But I am satisfied now, and I enjoy quiet and solitude. And I’ll not lie, I find women easier to understand. That’s all.
I am not. I don’t seek. But you should enjoy the party. Just don’t forget to keep an eye out. Call it another favor.
I don’t believe anyone really enjoys true solitude. Learns from it, maybe. And I think you may be the first man to ever say that, about understanding women. Congratulations.
Observing is what I like to do at parties, but since you’ve already said, I will call it another favor and cash it in immediately. Since you will not be drinking, you will walk me home.
[...] You're describing a limitation with your beliefs, not my enjoyment of solitude. I feel for you. And I don't claim to understand women completely. I just find them comparatively easier to understand than men. [...] It was just my mother, my sister, and I for many years. That's all.
In the spirit of fairness, I have to tell you I'm not suitable as an escort, given my limp. If you want to change the favor, you may.
I'm unlikely to be of much utility to you as an escort, is ultimately what I mean and am worried about. If we are attacked, the best I can do for you is to serve as bait or a distraction while you run. [...] But I understand I cannot dictate your favor.

I would not leave you behind if something were to come upon us, if that’s what you are worried about.
DM 10/3
Regardless.
I'm not worried about being left behind. In fact, I ask that you leave me behind if it comes to it. Do you understand what I mean now?
