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.

[...] 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.

[...] Mothers try very hard, don't they? But there is a certain type of solitude with them, too. [...]

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?

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.
