He just showed up at our door! He said he liked her paper did she actually want to learn things! This is weird!

How're you supposed to do it?

Less, mm, spontaneously than that?

Sounds boring.

It seems to work.

For goals that do not include 'don't be boring'.

Maybe it doesn't bore them.

Then they're boring.

People don't need literally every single thing in their life to not be boring in order for them to not be boring overall.

I mean, yeah, but we live in Valinor, most things in their life will be boring by default.

I see your point.

Do you really? I'm kind of being a jerk. To everybody.

I mean, it's not like most people would care whether you personally find them boring.

This is true. It is a wholly mutual distaste.

Good thing you've got a magic dog to substitute for literally the entire rest of society.

And my family. They're pretty great.

I'll take your word for it until I can ask my sister.

Is she boring?

No.

Then she'll like them fine.

I have only your word for that! You seem lovely but I've only known you a few minutes!

Sure, but I'm right.

Lots of people think they're right about things. Most of them are idiots.

True. I'm still right.

I suspect you are! But I will still take my sister's word over yours if it comes down to it.
