[When he has almost turned to stone last year it was the fact that he had taken up living with Yanli that kept him from being completely turned. The love she felt filled the house and just that feeling was enough to keep him living. He would gladly do the same for this son. He is grateful that the rules of this world do not restrict them to more intimate connections for survival. Even he can feel the warmth of their connection in that red gem in his forehead.]

If you ever feel a little off or it has been too long, make sure you call on me immediately. We will do whatever you want even if it is just sitting together.

[He says this firmly but with a smile on his face. this benefits them both after all. He is still fondly watching his son eat, only occasionally nibbling on his own meal as he just enjoys the contact between them.]

You should remember which of these things you like the most so that we can get them again sometime.
