Alfred: I love you both and I’m happy in this relationship but I do not want a kid of my own
Alfred: I’ll look after your boy. that is a promised I shall not break
Alfred: he ran away. again, yes, I know. so far away that I can’t find him this time. I know that he always has this anger, this restlessness in him. I now what I can give isn’t enough, it’s never going to be enough. nothing and no one can replace you two but I tried to make it easier for him, to make it better. but it’s never going to enough. he misses you two so much. I wished that I’m sorry I failed you. I miss you too. dearly
Alfred: I blame you, Thomas, you always had that dramatic flair. he definitely got it from you. ah, Martha, do smack him on the head for me, please
Alfred: if you can see him now--what am I talking about, of course you can see him--you would be proud of him. I’m proud of our boy too
Alfred: there is a flying invincible alien who smiles like nobody’s business who has taken up on following him around like a dedicated puppy. I blame both of you. what? of course he’s interested in him but he is his usual self. that doesn’t turn the man from a faraway land away. I dare say things are starting to seem hopeful
Alfred: so obviously there is a warrior race of women isolated on an island which has something to do with the gods. Greek deities, yes. the princess has eyes for the both of them and that speeds things up greatly
Alfred: what do you think of wedding in June? May? well he would make them wait a few years before he comes to but it’s never early to start planning
