"I agree for you to have more than one partner."
"Are you being serious?" Gale said incredulously. "You know you don't have to answer this now. You can take your time. This is, after all, the decision of your life."

"You're comparing me to some great figure. I don't know if I can follow in their footsteps."
"But I'll be angry if you brought in every little stray you found to home," Xiaolin continued.
"Let's hope I don't become a lustful beast in my later years," Gale chuckled. "Also, remember we're speaking in hypothetical situations."
He took in a deep breath and sighed. "I can't believe you agreed. I had this talk with Selene, and she poked me with a knife."
