"Royal couplings are - permanent. Maybe not as a matter of physical reality, but social reality. I'm mated with Jake Harrison and now I'm mated to him. That's how it works on Nebulon."
"I do understand that Jake didn't know that, when he let me have my way with him. I wasn't in condition to tell him, when he found me. I'm not - without empathy, for that, I understand that I am in the wrong and that Jake never agreed to this. It doesn't change how things are for me, now that I've done that wrong."
