That's right. I wonder if it's simply because there are so many different people here from so many different worlds... it's difficult to imagine how the village would be able to function otherwise, with so many different sorts of people here.

[He pauses, thinking to himself for a moment.] Perhaps that's one of the things I never expected I would enjoy so much. Though there are still a few people from my world who refer to me by my title, it's... nice to have everyone here call me simply by my name. It feels so much warmer, somehow.
