Nothing bad, I hope. But as I’m sure you gathered, I don’t know anything about ‘dates’. Or even courting, as Francis probably knows it. I just wanted to ask what sort of things are… done?
Well, generally when you go on a date with someone, you take them to a place that you think they might like. You can also plan an event for them or do something nice. Like...say, making someone's favorite meal or taking them somewhere where they can do a hobby they enjoy.
[He wants to do this right! Crozier is important!]
Oh, I see. [He thinks on this for a moment.] Is it okay if you sometimes do something you’ve also done before? We’ve gone out on his ship and he’s told me about the stars and we went to see the ice… [Even with new context he doesn’t look back in any new light.] There are also new things I’d like to do with him! But I think he really likes going out on the ship…
We saw the Northern Lights! [Nope, he doesn’t see it. There are reasons Crozier had to be explicit. Multiple times.] Hmm. I definitely can’t cook for him… [He doesn’t look anxious, but then, he never does. Still, very low key fretting is still fretting.]
When I was young, there was a certain pressure on me to get married [to a woman]. I wasn't interested so dedicated myself to other paths. And then I spent a long time in situations where it would've been unfair to really ever consider it.
Once someone has seen you crack your head open on rocks, or be crushed by a horse or stabbed in a tiger pit... they can get unsettled if you get up. Which is reasonable, especially considering the not uncommon troubles with ghosts, monsters and demons.
Luckily, I'm pretty good at playing dead. One time I was moving a little too much after falling off a cliff, so the people I'd been traveling with ended up dropping a number of rocks on me...
On the other hand, if it's someone who you dislike who's shot you, stabbed you, or set you on fire, your charred, bloody corpse slowly getting back to it's feet and walking over to them can be fucking terrifying.
I've taken advantage of that to unsettle a few of my enemies.

I was wondering if I could ask you a question.

It’s usually the wonders of nature and accidents that get me.
