Nobody in Cheliax that Keltham has met, and maybe, no one in all the history of Golarion, has ever, by dath ilani standards, overcommunicated.

Dath ilani overcommunication goes considerably further than including such key facts as, for example, 'Oh I was mildly traumatized by watching my indestructible friends having their bodies eaten by demons and now I have a hard time relaxing during sex.'

Keltham is just going to call this another cultural gap and let this terminological difference quietly pass him by.

Dath ilani overcommunication goes considerably further than including such key facts as, for example, 'Oh I was mildly traumatized by watching my indestructible friends having their bodies eaten by demons and now I have a hard time relaxing during sex.'  Overcommunication is when you write your friends so many extended essays about whatever subject that they start being able to write the next essay in the sequence well enough that you yourself can't tell the difference, at which point people are, in fact, usually advised to call it a day.

He can feel the words hitting that part of him, that wants to have her, waking it up again, and Keltham does his best to quiet all the little voices in his mind which demand that everything be much better understood before he proceeds further.  Civilization does do its best to give people experience in needing to do things that are not carefully arranged; they have overthought everything far too much to miss the obvious ways they could be making their children weak.

He is already remaking her, so she's told him, with his knowledge, and she is someone who desires to be remade; though he feels awfully deficient in understanding how he could remake somebody through sex, it at least lets him understand why she might give herself to him at all, it helps him understand how there could be a sensible price and have it be one that he can pay.  No, that's not a frame he can step out of so easily, even after being told to, he does not comprehend yet where he could stand instead.

Keltham does manage not to disclaim out loud that he probably can't remake her soul with sex tonight.  She knows that.  She knows he's only taking his first steps.

She's told him over and over to stop worrying so much about her side of things, to worry about his side of things, what he wants.  And for somebody whose Thing is supposedly Selfishness, it sure is funny how that's such a hard instruction for him to - not even follow, just visualize in correct and plausible detail what it means, how it could be.  There is some unquiescent desire within his mind, something he's supposed to do, to make it okay, for him to only worry about himself afterwards, some reassurance that he needs, but he does not know what it is.

He can go on anyway.  Civilization also teaches that art among its others.  Continuation, the first layer of the twenty-second virtue of Perserverance.
