Who? Me? Trust me,  Always something going on up here, something happening in my brain. I have to always be on guard ready for anything, I didn’t get to second in command by sitting around, I worked hard to be here and I have to always be on top of everything just in case… something… happens. I cannot lose anything else… 

Me and Astrid? HA! Oh that wasn’t a joke? No no no, don’t be silly. I am her loyal subordinate and nothing more. Plus, my heart will always be with another… I’m sure you have heard from others but I used to be married to the most wonderful woman. She may be gone but she will always be my one and only love. No one will compare to her in my eyes. Astrid is a great courageous strong woman, but she will only ever be my leader.

Harland? Are you home? I went to the market and bought some nice veggies for dinner tonight, some carrots, potatoes. Not too sure what these ones are but the lady at the stall seemed to think that they were great so I got them anyway. Son? Oh there you are. So.. how was your day? (son rolls his eyes) that good huh? he sits next to his son so, any girls you like?... (silence) or boys? I mean I am not judging love is love and all and I accept you no matter what.

Harland: Dad please- 

Barren: Well I just thought I’d ask how your day was that’s all, anyway, let’s get these veggies cooking!
