"You shouldn't be worried about what's standard," Ishiah says gently, trying to keep his tone from being overly condescending, although there's an air of knowing that he can't entirely erase. His only interest, however, is in helping the pair avoid the many hiccups that he and Robin came across in the past.

"Robin and I are in a monogamous relationship. I... am considering asking for his hand in marriage, in fact," he explains with a slight tilt of his head. "But it took quite some time before Robin would commit, and after we had been together for a couple of years, I offered him the opportunity to seek other companions if he wanted. His kind rarely enters monogamous relationships, and I didn't want him to be unhappy. As it turns out, however, he was happier containing our relationship to the two of us."
