Penelope
So be less old fashioned and tell him, yourself. Aren't human women supposed to be more forward?
Oh, just this thing where if I feel the desire to actually take a woman as a wife, I must court them in a method that was set down by some old dusty etiquette guru THOUSANDS of years ago. Father never did, but he's, as you know, really bad at following the rules. I wish to at least attempt to do things the right way with her.
