Just one thing, Troven. I didn't want to distress Teena any further, for my brother's sake if absolutely nothing else, but I will tell you precisely why I even bothered to speak up. I don't know if you can get your head around the concept, but Teena belongs to Archer. He belongs to her. There is no one that can claim either of them. She is your adopted sister, so I've noticed, and you will always be her little brother/best friend, but she does not belong to you, nor will she ever. Not even in a "different way" than she belongs to Archer, which seems to suggest that you think that she belongs as much to you as she does him. Elven marriages are like this, and they are as completely bonded to each other as any pair of elves I've seen. I see that your idea of marriage isn't something that means you're dedicating yourself, your heart, to one person, but for other people, that's what it is.
Teena will apparently let you wallow about in ignorance and your fantasies, since you're happier that way. I personally find it to be highly annoying, but I won't say anything else about it. Not my business, is it...
If I've learned anything while I'm here, it's that those two are completely hopeless. You can at least save me the headaches of having to listen to your inane babble on this. I'm not an idiot. In fact, I bet that I know what you mean better than you do, and that's without using any telepathy.
That's it. Don't bother giving me the usual speeches about me minding my own business and how I'm wrong, etc. I just feel a need to say my piece somewhere, and I'm not overly interested in discussing it.
