“I am just calling you what you are. A humanoid. Not human, but possessing human qualities. Such as myself.”
I’m telling you I’m nothing like a human! Stop making up things about me!
“Oh my dear, I know a lot about human emotions.”
Well, I’m not human! Humans don’t live for thousands of years and have these great powers.
“…Believe me when I say I have nothing but you and your future wife’s contentment in my mind, but you must understand what you want may not always be what others want. Sure you may feel unhappy about it, but sometimes you need to give up things for people. Sacrifice. With love comes sacrifice. Being able TO sacrifice is one of the greatest things two people who love each other can do. And you must understand, though you may love someone, they may not love you. How would you feel if you were forced into a marriage? Probably not very good.”
I’ve probably sacrificed a lot! Maybe. I can’t exactly remember a lot of my life. But still, you don’t understand! You don’t know what I’ve been through! Don’t act like you know the solution to my problems.
“Have you ever stopped to think maybe the princess wouldn’t be happy with you?”

He frowns a little.
“Well it certainly is very strange. And rather creepy.”
How is that creepy? I just want to be happy.
“Well, seeing as you like to kidnap women, I can see their reasoning,” she said, licking a sharp, boney claw.
Hmm, of course you wouldn’t understand my reasoning. I’m just the creepy old man who lives alone with a bunch of penguins and just wants to find someone that loves him!
“Eh? Who are they? How do they ruin your ‘fun?’”
They’re just the local adventures and heroes. They come to my castle and take the princesses away after beating me up. I try to invited them whenever they come over, but they never want to be in a band!
