"I think, first and foremost, that you should not press yourself too hard or make yourself unhappy by going too far too early, even if that's what Sevar wants," Isidre says, making a sudden change of plans.  "This is an Evil country, not a Good one, and among the foundational reasons for that is that Good people all trying to help each other instead of themselves seem to inevitably end up sad and unhappy at the end of it.  You have a Civilization to build here, Keltham, your role in life is not actually to make Sevar happy.  She is responsible for her own life's happiness, as you are for yours."

"With that said, if you yourself, for your own sake and not hers, decided one day to demand that the government of Cheliax give you absolute-power over her and order our Security to put her forcibly into her chains any time she didn't want to go, Carissa Sevar herself would be very, very happy about that.  But I will quite understand if you do not wish to essay that until you are confident of your ability to discern that happiness for yourself."

"And.  There are other women in Cheliax if Sevar's happiest outcome is not what you want.  You are not obliged to give literally the first girl in this world that you talked to everything that she wants from life, at your own expense.  That is what it means to be Evil rather than Good."

"A further warning.  Sevar is not the most extreme case of what she is.  Pilar is more submissive than Sevar, substantially more masochistic than Sevar, and would, in a very strange way, feel raped if you made her have a careful conversation about sex instead of just forcibly throwing her onto a bed.  My considered opinion is that if you are struggling with Sevar you are absolutely certainly not ready for Pilar."
