"I find all of those things acceptable," Altair told her. "As I said before, I've no interest in owning you. I want you to continue to be involved in your guild and your studies to whatever degree you wish, and we will make all decisions that affect our family together."
He flexed and curled his fingers against the railing, uncertain whether he should even address her other request. Finally he said, "I know my visits to the red light district upset you. You'll notice that is not something I will insist on during during our marriage. Right now, however, I do believe it is the best way for me to meet my own needs without putting undue pressure on you." He stole a quick glance over at her before averting his eyes back toward the city.
