It doesn't feel right at all, but addressing her as he would a goddess would be weird.] It's... a complicated place. But it's not bad. [He offers her a slightly more sheepish smile.] I don't know what kind of life I had before coming here, of course, but I think it's the sort of thing I would've hoped for after I died.
