"I'm honestly going to be more than slightly freaked out if I find that the girls in the harem exactly match up to every single one of my sexual desires with no leftovers.  It would say some pretty unsettling things about where I am and how I got there."

"Uh, the reasoning that would make me worry about that is definitely below the Law, to be clear.  It'd be above the gods, below the math.  What would it even mean to be above the Law, I can't coherently imagine that.  Nobody gets to decide that 1 + 2 = 4."

"I notice my brain being a little tired of relationshipping, and it occurs to me that we haven't eaten breakfast and should plausibly go eat lunch or whatever's on sale... or free, I guess, since I still haven't gotten around to having any local money.  I should ask if this Governance location can use a channeled healing at whatever standard rates are on that.  But, I mean, we can also wrap up if you had any big important dangling issues, I'm not saying we have to go eat right now."

It only occurs to Keltham after he speaks that he just offered Carissa options and asked her to make a decision instead of providing info to him.  Is that even wrong?  He doesn't know, but that section of his brain may be tired and need to rest, maybe.
