"I feel that I love you, Lloyd!" she announced to him.
He tried to keep any emotion from showing. He tried not to give her any impression of his feelings in regards to her declaration.
"I am very flattered, Dam." he finally replied.
She looked at him as they walked back towards the garden entrance to the palace, and before entering she took his hand. She kissed him on the cheek then asked him a question that made him feel very uneasy.
"Would you mind it very much if you were to live in my city?"
Lloyd wasn't at all perplexed by her question. It was a clear invitation and it clearly displayed her intentions towards him.
He slowly turned away from her resuming his way to the state-room.
"Besten is my home." he answered her. "My family and friends are there. You do understand?"
"Yes. I understand. It seems that you pure humans will never accept our kind!" she said.
"Please, Lehnar … don't speak that way. Man is strange in his ways. I suppose that is why the world is, as it is. We all have our own peculiarities and these are what set all people apart. With some this creates love. With other people, only hate."
