Well at least he isn’t the only one put off by making a silly comment. But then he thinks he might not point out to Gar the door on the far wall that leads through to Dorrek’s room.

“I am... young, by Skrull standards. We live to over two of your centuries. And I am only just twenty of your years. It is rare for a Skrull to marry before sixty. Rarer still for one my age to ascend the throne. Simply put, there hasn’t been time and... well, my people accept me for what I represent, but that doesn’t mean that there are many who would choose to mate with me. I am... undesirable in many ways. My Kree blood, my appearance, my attitudes. I do not often fit the mold they expect of me.”

Which might say something as to why he turns to a human for some measure of distraction from his throne. He’s... lonely. But that doesn’t mean it explains everything.

“Besides. I would have to find one willing to put up with my... quirks.”
