( Consider him back to stymied. )

I'm all for deciding these things on your own, everyone should. No one can fall in love for you, and no one should, that's a powerful emotion. It's more like my clan doesn't really test people out, except I guess if you fall in love with a friend, so the idea just sounds strange. Uh... good luck with that journey?

( A pause. )

You're young enough you should still have plenty of time?
