Dragaeran Dating Advice

Dragaeran Dating Advice from Piro and Kytraan:

   "'What should I tell her?'
   'Tell her?' You must have know girls before.'
   'Well, yes.'
   'And you must have known one with whom you desired to have 
conversation.'
   'Oh, without doubt.'
   'What did you tell her?'
   'That I should like to get to know her better.'
   'Good.'
   'That I have never before met another with whom I could speak so
freely.'
   'I must remember that one.'
   'That it would be a great honor to be able to escort her for an
evening of entertainment.'
   'And this has worked for you, has it not?'
   'Certainly.'
   'Then what more is there to say?'
   'My dear Kytraan--'
   'Well?'
   'I do not understand what you do me the honor of telling me.'
   'Merely, that, if it worked before--'
   'Shards!  Those things?  I cannot tell those things to Ibronka.'
   'The Gods!  Why not?'
   'Why not?  You ask me why not?'
   'Indeed, I ask you why not.  And if that is not enough, I ask you
again.  Why not?'
   'Because--'
   'Yes?'
   'Because, well because with Ibronka, they are true!'
   'Ah!' said Kytraan after a moment.  'I had not understood this
circumstance.' 
   'Well, but you understand now, do you not?'
   'Oh, entirely, my poor friend.  But then, speak to her of other
things.'
   'What other things?'
   'Oh, the usual things.  Speak of her family, or talk about food,
or about philosophy.  You know she is interested in philosophy.'
   'Oh, I cannot.  When I try to speak to her, my break fails, and 
my throat closes.'
   'Ah, my poor friend.  I understand entirely.'"
